I have two white Ruggies. I was shopping for a different species (Es, didn't know I already had 5 of them!) When I asked the woman in the pet store what kind of crabs they had she told me they had the regular kind and 2 albino (even I knew they weren't albino) so I snatched them up!!

I've never seen a hermie this shy!!!

This one looks darker because of the shadow, but he is very light. He changed out of that icky shell about a week after I got him into a turbo. He changes shells every night (for the last two weeks).

I love Es!!!!! wrote:WOW!!!! I'm suprised athow many of you actually have white ruggies!!!!! They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!! [smilie=lessthan3.gif] It has to do with their color. I don't no, but that white color just makes them look so...babyishly cutsy!!!! I can't find the right words for it. All I know is that white ruggies are plain CUTE!!!!!!!!!

I have 3 white rugs, all were gotten at petco at different times. Everytime i go to petco, their humidity is at 20% TO 50%, and i get really concerned and rescue a bunch.

my first white ruggie got really sick after a few months and demanded to be naked for a good day. i nursed him back to health and brang him to work. he clung to my finger all day, wouldn't let go. he still is one of my least shyest crabs and i like to think of him as my momma's boy.

they kind of remind me of porcelin. so lovely and delicate.

You should tell the employees about the humidity.

I have 2 really white ruggies I got from Petco as well, they had quite a few of them. They are my most adorable crabs

though I haven't seen them except when they came topside to change out of their horrible painted shells since I got them in early Dec.

WOOO HOOOOO I know that I am feeding a good diet ,now if he will only change out of that ulgy horrible painted race car shell! lol Blanca switched out of her bright yellow spiderman shell. Now she is down to molt I hope!!!
