How to measure

Post by NLindsey921 » Mon Dec 19, 2016 3:30 pm

How do you measure the opening of a shell when there is a crab inside. I need to order shells for jimbo because he does not like the turbos I have. He is staying put in his murex. Is there anyway to measure the Shell with him in there so that he does not pinch me?

Is he super-pinchy? Mine just pulled away into their shells and blocked up the opening with their BP when I measured them. It was no problem... but I for sure recommend calipers.... they are the best way tho get the inside measurement. :)
