First Indo Moult

We have had some fantastic news today, my little one eyed Indo Smartie has successfully finished a moult and now has all of his/her legs fully grown back! The little one still only has one eye but the hope is over the next few moults that too will grow back.

The moulting cave was extremely near the surface (probably due to all the third leg segments being missing) and had been sealed with a shell. The cave actually got uncovered when another Indo moved into the shell and walked off, revealing little Smartie sat with a stash of egg shell that he'd also dragged into the hole to eat! I popped him into a cricket tub with some Calcium Crunch popcorn and crab exo while I quickly changed the water then he was off and pootling around the setup again.

As you can see Indos naturally have very long antenna!

Jumbo Turbo Shells

This late night delivery was one of the most anticipated we have had, I love unwrapping shells but as the first jumbos we have gotten in there were lots of "ooohs" and "ahhhs" over how beautiful they are.
