New guy here, and some pics of crabs and such.

Post by Hdale85 » Fri Jul 01, 2016 10:46 am

Hi I have a thread over in the crabitat forum that I've been building my crabitat in, but figured I'd make one in the picture section since I'll be posting a lot of pics now.

I got some new crabs today, as the 2 we had one of them went down for a molt almost immediately and the other guy looked kind of lonely and my wife just had to get some of these small ones that a store had.

I think this one in the white shell here is an E? He's kind of white with some dull blue colors. I'm pretty sure the others are all PP's though.

Here are a couple pics I have of my setup so far (still adding stuff in and what not) and also my other 2 crabs.

This is the hole the first one dug to go for a molt I believe. he's been down about a week or so so far.

This is the first smaller one that went down for a molt, he was hiding in this spiderman shell which is why I suspected he needed a molt and why I was rushing to get the tank together.

This is the orange shelled one after he swapped shells, he's swapped a few more times now in the last week or so and is currently back in a green turbo shell.

Currently there isn't much of anything to climb on in the tank but I'm working on that, I picked up a couple of silk plants today and I'm ordering some Cholla wood and other stuff this weekend to go in there as well.

Like they don't show up? Or they are dark? They are all dark cause my wife didn't use the flash on her phone?

That's weird, as they are all from the same hosting site and even the same folder? I'll try relinking them. Also they showed up on my phone from a completely different connection.

you guys might want to ctrl f5 the page and see if it refreshes them too but I'm going to update the links.

Ok updated the links, could be just your phones I guess? Will have to wait and see if others have issues but this is the same way I post pics on all forums and I've never had issues.

Could be, I don't use the app on my phone I just use chrome browser. Maybe the app doesn't support IMG links? Or maybe it's all the URL tag stuff that's around the links that photobucket puts in. let me remove that stuff lol.

ok, now they are just plain IMG tags so it should work, if not I guess the app just doesn't like photobucket lol.

I am charging the battery for my M4/3 camera which will take much better pics (mirrorless DSLR essentially if you don't know cameras lol). So as soon as the battery is charged I'll get some better shots, my wife sucks at taking pics haha, our phones actually do pretty decent although mine developed a dead pixel in the camera sensor a week or so ago :(.
