The Story Of My Marbled Crayfish :)

[comocrayfish5]

at one point or another i said i was going to get comparison pics comparing a normal sized baby to the baby that hasnt molted.

well, here they are!

(sorry about the blurriness, the camera wanted to focus on the cups rather than the crays

)

little gal

average size

and... just because she is a nice color and the only blue tinted one so far...i zoomed in

Interesting about the one that is stunted, not shedding. Is it by any chance milky white inside its body? Does it have all its legs and fully formed feelers/ antanea?

 

[comocrayfish5]

it did molt for the first time the other day and before hand, because of the other bigger crays, she only had 3 legs and no claws, now that she molted, she is growing everything back

It's amazing that they can do all that- regrow limbs after molting, etc.! Fascinating little critters
