Can anyone id?

Found at a local petsmart with missing legs. I think it might be a pp but am not sure.

That’s what I think also. The cow was just huge and over the past couple days of checking in on him. Seems to be way more active.

I'd say a PP too. That is one meaty looking pincher lol.

It may not be the first time he lost limbs, which can make the BP look even larger than normal. It takes several molts for everything to catch back up in size!

I have offered him/her many new shells as he does not fit in his/her broken shell. So far doesn’t seem to care for them.

He likely wants how light it is, as it's easier to carry with missing limbs. He also probably needs slightly bigger, because his abdomen will still match that big claw of his. If you have Striped (fluctuosus) or any land snail shells big enough, he might show interest. Maybe even towards a tonna/tun.

It looks like in the picture he has formed some jelly limbs on his left side. Has he been digging around any? Maybe thinking about molting?
