It's been nearly 5 years since I rescued my one-eyed 3-legged crab from PetSmart.Boy has he grown!Here's from when I first bought him, 5 years ago:http://home.comcast.net/~JediM...e%20Ey ... .jpgHere's pictures 2 years ago, showing the regenerated eye:http://home.comcast.net/~JediM.../oneeye3yr_front.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~JediM...e/onee ... top.jpgAnd here's pictures from 2 weeks ago, showing how much he's grown:http://home.comcast.net/~JediM.../oneey ... _side2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~JediM...e/oneeye5yr_top1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~JediM...e/onee ... p2.jpgFrom this (and watching my other crabs), I think I can start to guage the age of crabs roughly from their size.When I got this crab, he was at the upper-end of small/low-end of medium, maybe 5-years old. Now he's at the lower edge of large, around 10 years.
