Just as I shed layers of clothes today when the temperature reached 30°C, so Stego lizard (my 40-year-old stumpy-tailed pet) sheds his skin on a regular basis, and along the seashore crab shells are found in great numbers -- in amongst flotsam.
These crab shells are not the remains of dead crabs; rather discarded outer shells that the crabs exchange for a new, slightly larger shell. Moulting time for crabs occurs during summer and this is the season when Stego is more likely to shed his skin too.
