Pics of crabs

Post by NLindsey921 » Sat Mar 11, 2017 2:20 pm

This is tiny. She is the weirdest of my bunch. A beautiful purple pincher wearing a Babylonian shell. Image

This is jimbo. He is the largest of my four purple pinchers.
Image

This is Mr krabs. He is the grumpiest of my four pps.
Image

Unfortunately, pinchy is buried at the time. I'm hoping for a molt so his claw will be completely healed. So no new pics. But here is an old one.
Image

This is Teal'C the bigger of my two equadorians.
Image

And last but not least. This is rose.
Image

I do my best to care for these guys and it warms my heart to see them doing so well.

Thanks. I just wish Teal'C would switch already. Looking to buy some more shells. Can anyone tell what kind he's in. Maybe if I get more like that he will switch.

Thanks. I ordered some whales eyes last night. Hopefully they are large enough. I also got a couple different turbos and a glass hermit crab. Will post pics when they show up.

Yw! E's love the "D" type opening shells, and they REALLY love modified shells (especially ones without the inside part). They like their abdomens close to them. I'm probably not explaining it correctly.

Very hard to find. Usually they modify them themselves, which is why when they find a shell they like, they stick to them. ;) Alaska hermit sells them when her hermits give them up.
