The c rayfish starts its life as an egg. The female and male crayfish mate and the female lays hundreds of eggs. The eggs attach to the swimmerets/tail of the female and when the eggs hatch, they are fully formed, albeit tiny. They stay with the mother for 1-2 weeks. In 2 weeks, the crayfish is about 1 centimeter long. This is when the crayfish will venture out on their own. They reach full adult size at 3-4 months. The average lifespan out in the wild is 3-8 years. --third grade teacher

Is a blind crayfish a trogloxene troglophile or a troglobite?

A blind crayfish is typically classified as a troglobite. Troglobites are species that are specially adapted to life in caves, often exhibiting traits such as a lack of pigment and eyesight. Trogloxenes, on the other hand, are organisms that may enter caves but do not complete their life cycle there, while troglophiles can live both in caves and outside of them. Since blind crayfish are fully adapted to cave environments, they fit the definition of troglobites.

What happens when crayfish get to big for there shell?

When crayfish outgrow their shells, they undergo a process called molting, where they shed their old exoskeleton to allow for growth. During this process, the crayfish may become vulnerable to predators, as it takes time for the new shell to harden. After molting, the crayfish will gradually develop a larger, more robust exoskeleton. This cycle of growth and molting is essential for their survival and development.
