i feel kinda bad, i recently got two new crabs (Eugene s/m and Herman t) after loosing my only male Uu. RoxSand (s/M) was my only female up and after three days both boys are down so shes alone. :lol: she is always opposite everyone. happy the boys are distressing and Eugene changed out of his painted shell right away. need to get some teeny sizes since Hermans looking but his is a nice enough natural shell.

I haven't caught mine actively on the wheel, but it's turned more than what would be fitting just to cross it.

In other news, one of my guys, Broheim, was digging and came all the way to the front of the tank that i could see him! I covered the glass for privacy, but if he wants to molt there, i may try and find a way to set up a camera

We decided to take out Squirt for a bit today. He decided my chest and back were perfect for climbing. (Ignore my weird lips)ImageImageImageImage
