This guy I have had for about 4 months. He is a tough little one. He had been in fights before I fot him, damaged legs and BP, bullied by my bigger crabs for a little while and just now was released from a successful surface molt. He isnt the smallest, or the biggest, but he might be the toughest. J...

My wife has decided to grow a sweet potato, but the vines are getting a little out of hand. Can I give them some clippings from the plant?

Most of mine hide. Its been about 2 months since I have seen a few of them due to molts and destress. Its a very common thing.

So I was looking on the safe list, and I noticed plums are safe. Does that include the branches too? There is a Japanese plum tree here I was thinking of getting a branch off of.
