ID please!?!?

Post by Carahj3 » Sun Nov 08, 2015 7:05 pm

These are some new babies I just had to have from a small mom and pop store who had a beautiful set up with almost ideal settings. (70% humidity, 70 temp, but sadly not enough substrate.)

they are so active, and they're loving everything right now! but can anyone tell me what they are!?

this is the biggest. it's a boy! ImageImageImage

Between the eye shape and the fact that one of them is blue, looks like you found two nice Es!

You got yourself some beautiful E's! Also, make sure the temp and humidity are 80 & 80% at least! Congrats on the new crab family!

humidity and temp: I calibrated my hygrometer, and it is 5 low. I am waiting on my mother, who is a jeweler, to deliver the jewelers screwdriver to fix that issue. I can't find anything else small enough to do it with that being said, I've been keeping it steady 86% humidity 79 temp, but should I assume the temp is 5 low as well as the humidity? I felt as though that was a decently safe area either way until I can fix the hygrometer for sure.
