It wasn't a pretty sight though. There was two clearly dead crabs in the tank. I pointed this out to the owner so he picked it up and pulled it out of the shell! What a horrible noise that made. There was no need to do that. Also, there was barely any sand substrate, no heating, no lighting, and to top it off, they were next to the air conditioner!!! I was so upset. I told the guy that they need to have some sort of heater, amongst otherthings, and that they shouldn't be by the air conditioner! I was going to buy a few, but the owner said to come back tomorrow (which is today) and see how they are doing then. I dont know why he said that, but I guess to make me feel better about their conditions when i came back. Which to me meant, if they survive the night, they are good to go.
It was so sad. So I am going back today to get a few. The only thing that makes me uneasy is that he doesn't have a return policy, and at 5$ a crab, that is not a cheap investment to just have one die on me and not be able to have it replaced, especially after the crappy way he kept them in the tank
What do you guys do if there isn't a return policy on the crabs? Do you go ahead and buy anyway, or not buy as many? I can't bare to know they are in that horrible tank.
