My hermit crab hasn't molted in 8 months. Should I be concerned?

Question

So my hermit crab hasn't melted for about 8 months should I be worried? Pet's info: Other | Hermit Crab | Female | 8 months and 21 days old

Thanks for reaching out about Kirby. Molting is stimulated by environmental cues and growth. If continues to eat and be active, monitoring for now, should be appropriate. Check husbandry such as temperature and humidity and correct problems. If Kirby appears lethargic or anorexic, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
