Thought I would post some pics of some of my crabbies that Ive had for a while that i have recent pics of as well.
Sylvestra...ive had her for 6 years now, shes one of the biggest crabs I have. I got her while i was still using commercial foods, during which she lost her vision. Shes been blind for 5 years now...but does amazing and is by far one of the most active crabs--climbing--in the tank, other than maybe Mandarin.
When I first got her 2004:
2008:
Her molting Dec 2009:
Her now!
Mandarin who I got in 2006, shes the one on the left:
2008:
2009 Climbing...its what she does best!:
After her molt last month!
Florette when I first got her in 2006. I adopted her from a local scuba instructor who mistakenly took her home in a shell she collected from a beach in Belize. Florette spent the airplane trip home in the cold cargo, and then another 2 weeks in the ziplock bag the lady had the shell collection in...only to find Florette when she was rinsing them out! Florette was about the size of a green pea, I was so worried shed get lost in the tank, but she did great! :
She changed shells pretty quick..good thing I still had those tiny craft shells around!
2006, with her tank mates, the crab next to her was about golfball size--
2007--
Florette after her molt last week--
Shes quite a bit bigger now
Hope you enjoyed the crabby progression!!

Thanks for Sharing Narnar!!! Its great to see pictures of How much the crabs have grown.....I must say I have to many and I am unable to keep track of them so closely.....have hard enough time when one changes its shell!! 
I want to hug her. 
You are doing an awesome job raising her!
