Molting looks like a lot of hard work but I bet it feels real satisfying. We lowly vertebrates will never know what it's like.

You can take a particular steroid that makes the soles of your feet come off in one large cast of dead skin.

It must be pretty close.

This is now my 2nd favorite thread.

I also love some big king crab/snow crab legs with butter and lemon goddamn!

Never had any luck with the claw-meat, but frankly I grow impatient when there is crab to be had.

Also so for real I've seen on Food Network like a million times, right after those crabs molt you batter, flour, fry them, and eat them whole? Is that how it really works? Shell and all? How is that? The shell-and-all part just seems weird but it sure looks good on a po'boy or roll or white bread or whatever.

It is weird at first, but when the chitin is soft like that it's totally fine. I was introduced to it through sushi rolls(spider rolls!)

It takes quite a while for shells to harden after a molt.

Crabs are the Selena Gomez' of the multi-legged animal kingdom. Even when you know they are ragged and gross and strung out, they are still kinda cute because of the big head, and big expressive baby-like eyes.

Spiders are the Taylor Swift, where the appendages are too long for its head, the eyes are small and angry even if she's dressed up in a onesie at a children's charity, you instinctively can feel the danger and venom sacs concealed behind the segmented eyes and defensive hairs.

Fulfilling. These lesser creatures are at my mercy. Maybe I'll forget to water them - BAM! Drought. Maybe I overwater them - BAM! Flooding. Maybe I leave for vacation and forget to leave enough food - BAM! Famine. Maybe I introduce something into the tank that they have no natural biological resistance to - BAM! Pestilence. Maybe I leave the lid open and the kitties waste no time - BAM! Predators.

Precisely. Except the main difference is I feel bad if any of these things happen, and go out of my way to prevent them.



I snapped some proof that you really can get crabs to trust you and even like you like any other pet. Here's Jojo climbing into my hand for his evening exercise, which he LOVES! I basically let him crawl across one hand and put my other hand in front, repeatedly, like a makeshift treadmill.
