This is Kitty, one of our four Hermit Crabs, who buried herself over a month ago in substrate, and finally re-surfaced again this evening. She emerged from her old exoskeleton, and has grown a new left limb! The wonders of stressful regeneration after months of patience and waiting in darkness. :)
Hello again, world!
Kitty's antennae grew longer too!
Time to buy a bigger and prettier shell for this new molter.
Kitty's spanking new left limb just after her big pincher.
Any glimpse into the life of an animal
quickens our own and makes it so much
the larger and better in every way.
