I found a great picture last night showing how find the gender of your crab. All mine are more then willing to come pretty far out of the shell while I am holding them, so it was surprisingly easy. Victor and Santiago are still boys, Tiberius was being shy and I found out Salazar is a girl!Has anyone else had luck with finding out the gender of their crabs?

Bonnie is a bit of an acrobat and doesn't mind stretching REALLY far out of her shell. I held her up and she came right out and grabbed the lip of the tank; I'm not pulling her. Remember not to try to pull them out or force it. Two of mine are complete mysteries because they do not stretch out and reach. Anyway, if you look at the picture, notice the very obvious gonopores right in the center, where the long skinny legs are attached.

Here's the same picture with an arrow pointing out the gonopores in case anyone isn't sure what they are looking for!

Yeah, mine aren't hairy at all. Ever since I found out Salazar is a girl, I get suspicious when Santiago sleeps under the bridge with her...LOL.

I don't feel like I have to worry about her and Victor. They aren't the same type of crab...and she barely tolerates the poor guy to begin with, lol.
