He bought it about a month agoA crayfish that's been stuck in a molt for that long seems like a crayfish that should be euthanized. I doubt it's going to recover, and it can reasonably be assumed to be in some level of distress.
It is very young this is its first molt sense I got it. It is only the size of the tip of my thumb.Has it completely molted or stuck in molt? Young crayfish or old?
I used to keep locally caught crayfish years ago. I would get them when they were young, they would molt like every month until they were about 2 inches long and then slow down. It seemed once they reached maturity the last molt would be really hard on them and sometimes they would die from it or lose a claw, etc. I had a really old crayfish that a collected which was about 5 inches long. When it molted in my tank the molt went wrong.....it's gills were on the outside of the body cavity.
It also looks like it is stuck in the molt I saw a piece of it’s tail come off but the rest of the shell didn’tIt is very young this is its first molt sense I got it. It is only the size of the tip of my thumb.
