I don't know what you guys think, but we seem to get this question a lot from newbies wondering what HC waste looks like. Would this make a good sticky?

Yes definately! As a 'newbie' myself, I can tell you I had no idea what HC poop looked like until I saw this thread. And it's so dang funny too! :lol: Now I'll know what to look for when I'm cleaning the 'tat'. Thanks Herm-EZ for posting this topic! :wink:

I know we can't have a million stickies, that would be silly, no one could ever find the posts! It's also a shame when we can't find a way to make such great info easier access too. I've been averageing a TON of posts lately :oops: I do have a life, I swear, but I don't sleep at night and I noticed we get this Q often.

I will not be hurt, or offended or anything if everyone disagrees. :D

I know the search function is not used enough probably, I am guilty of that myself sometimes, but I often get way to many results and it makes me not want to use it. And I'm a master researcher too, I always find what I'm looking for on google. We just have a lot of info here. :) I know, I know, the less I use the search function the more I'm contributing the the problem that makes me not want to use it. I'm starting to build a habit around it.

WOW that is huge, I have never seen anything remotely like that in my crabitat. i got a micro and a small and i find little tiny turds literally this big "O" and that is rare, and i clean quite often and if i ever found something like that, well i would be really really worried. And maybe about thestickies thing, maybe there can just be an added post with that picture in a newbie forum.or something?

The archives are a great way for topics like this to stay alive, and help other crabbers. Once this topic gets old, it will probably go into the archives, where it will be saved for other crabbers to learn about. :)

That poop is huge.. it's scary that it is so big. :shock:

I'm a newbie and couldn't find pics anywhere. I read somewhere that it resembles cat poopie, so I'm picturing something covered in sand. My problem is that most of my sand is black. It's calci-sand. I did some research and found a website that said that some sand makes children sick, so I decided to use the calci-sand. I found some on sale ($3.50 for a small bag vs. $6) My color choices were black, black or black. I bought a few bags thinking that I would get the white T-Rex calci-sand for lizards and have sections like carpet in a house. I even had some pink/orange sand that came with the crabbies in a critter keeper. That was going to be the running strip for anyone who felt the need. I soon found out how messy they are! So now my crabs are living in what looks like dirt. This makes it impossible to find the poopies. I've done a deep cleaning and I wasn't sure just what I was looking for sifting through. The pictures are invaluable. Perhaps in this forum we are a little bit more open to showing these things than the typical crab care websites.

You must be a proud hermiteer!
