So excited to get these guys home

Post by Kacey86 » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:25 pm

I found these two guys on Craigslist and will be picking them up Friday. I hope they aren't in too bad of shape. Their current conditions are terrible.

Yay and thank you! I hope you got a deal on the crabs: $50 for two crabs + a deplorable set-up is insanity!

I'm not taking the tank and will definitely get them down on the price. Image They seemed to want them gone. Poor guys have been in that tank almost a year.

Tell them they can sell the tank, which is where the money is at, more easily if critters don't go with it. Then see if they'd give you the crabs so they can sell the tank quickly for close to or the same price they want to charge you for the crabs. Maybe they'll see it's to their benefit to give you the crabs.

Almost home to their warm, humid, and *fully stocked with food* home. Can't wait to see their reaction. They are larger than I was expecting!

Very hefty! The only shells I have even close to their size are very lightweight snail shells. Large Marge switched into one and I can tell she isn't liking it. Sounds like a good reason to visit Richard's seashells again.

Were you able to swing a good deal for just the crabs?
