OLIVE BRANCH, MS

Hi…I am looking to adopt two small to medium crabs. I am willing to travel 50 miles or a little more. I have a 40 gallon breeder with two purple pinchers, 1 small & 1 medium. I have been keeping hermit crabs for a year and a half. I am wanting to adopt two more purple pinchers. Preferably, small to medium ones. I would like to be contacted by email reeree064@yahoo.com. Any time of day is fine.
