I don’t know if I’d rather molt like that, or keep having to dust the apartment often.

It looks awfully painful and stressful like pulling out your entire body style while collapsing your lungs and internals to do this. I have cleaned and cooked crabs before and yeah, basically it’s exposing the entire gut system here to allow it to shed..

Must be a very stressful event for a non exhibitionist crab.

What kind of crab is this. I swear I got pinched by one like that in Florida. Trying to capture it the arms rotated back like 45 degrees more than I anticipated.

How can craps shed it skin so easy, but when I do it to eat it, it’s hard.
Are the pincers just cartilage at this point? Or would they be equally as painful as if the shell were still on?

The crab half way out of the shell: “Dang… why does this kinda crap happen to the good crabs?”

Imagine if we molted like that. Every now and then we would have to take like a week off work because we are so vulnerable. “Where’s Jim!” “Oh, he just molted so I’m taking his calls this week”

Does the top part of the shell come off too?

No need to flip the crab over like that, just let them do it on their own

Grabbing them at this stage and freezing them is how we get soft shell crab.
For a really long time I thought there was just a species of crab that was unfortunate enough to have soft shells.

Then someone said, hey that looks tasty
It’s a process called molting.
My boy is exhausted
How often do crabs do this?
I know some people are nearby preparing the pot.
