We investigate the specific heat of superfluid neutrons in the region of the crust of a neutron star characterized by unusual nuclear shapes, whose possible existence has been recently proposed. To describe pairing properties the results from Reid soft-core potential for nucleon-nucleon interaction are used. It is found that the presence of unusual nuclei causes a sizable increase in the specific heat. The results can have consequences in the study of thermal evolution of young neutron stars.
