My jumbo Molly Brown

Post by mool » Sat Mar 27, 2021 11:20 am

Here's a couple of pictures of my jumbo crab, Molly Brown exploring her new 75g tank. Her shell is too big, and it has a nasty, sharp chip on the left side opening; but it's the only she likes right now. Girlfriend wants a mansion rather than a tiny house! The shell opening is almost 2.5" and the ladder bridge is 5" across.

Molly's shell is a little too big for her, but there is no way she'd fit into an 1.5" opening! Maybe 2.25" would be a better fit for her.

I'll post pictures when I can, but I have another rising jumbo on my hands. It's not nearly as large as Molly, but still pretty huge. It's still in m 40B tank because it refuses to come out during the day and I have 3 molters in that tank that I don't want to disturb.

Thanks y'all for the nice words. Molly is a pretty special crab. She came to me accidentally after a very a harrowing trip of unintentional neglect in 2008-ish.
