Here is a shot of my Coco worm growing a new crown. It shed its crown about 2 weeks ago.

Scott glad to see that. Many times they shed it for unknown reasons and just "wither" away. Looks like yours is back on the GOOD side again. Good deal!!

Nice pictures! I heard they grow back bigger!

Glad to hear it!!! Since losing his crown, my Coco Worm's crown is getting bigger and bigger every day. I am curious to see what the final crown is going to look like. I hope that your guys does well for you Scott.

Thanks Boomer! I was hoping to be able to edit that first post and add weekly pictures to see the progress of its grow, but editing is apparently out of the question so here is the new series of pictures with dates.

Very Cool pictures

Very nice. I had one that shed twice and the head grew back. I did end up losing the worm after about 6 months. Bad water.

Wow! That is really neat to see. Good thinking taking the progression photos.

Thanks Melanie!

I'd like to just add them to the other post to keep them all together but I can not edit that post!
