I'll have to get back to you on that! I adopted him from another member back in April. This was her very first crab and was rescued from a pet store July 9, 2005. I think it was like that when she rescued him but I can't be too sure. Will definitely update you ;)

Tidbit of an email to previous owner (her answer in bold): So I finally posted some pics of the gang on HCA and someone asked me how Shelbert lost his eye.... "HAD THE BIGGEST EYES EVER. LOST IT...PARTIALLY GREW IT BACK THEN LOST IT FOREVER."

Edit: sound like bad molts to me... I've heard of some that was repaired with future molts but I guess his damage was too far gone. :'(

Poor little crab... Does his lost eye handicap him in any way?

Not that I've noticed! Keep in mind I've only had him for a little over a month now. He had recently molted when I picked him up. He eats, climbs, shell shops, and explores just like the rest of my clan does. He doesn't let anyone mess with him or get in his way! It's funny to watch sometimes ;)

Beautiful pictures! I absolutely love that little straw and the one-eyed guy! One of mine lost an eye (she was always fighting with everyone and someone must have grabbed it off! :shock: ) but it grew back. Maybe yours still will too, who knows. :crabbigsmile:

So gorgeous, especially Carbunkle's coloring! I can't remember the name, but the one in the pic that looks like a spider creeps me out haha.
