It's so cute when they let you! He was on top of the cocohut so me and my bf thought why not lol! I haven't held him since basically when I first bought him so I'm hoping it wasn't too stressful for him.
I have a picture of his first day home, when he actually stayed still for a picture. He was no bigger than a nickel!

I know! I have a crab that was very pale and grey when ge first came and after just one molt his colors were brighter! It's so hard to resist getting a teeny/micro from the pet store I just keep thinking one more tiny crab wouldn't hurt
Also I caught Squirt exploring the new decor

He really is lol. He was the first crab to discover the moss pit in the cocohut, now it's a hermie hotspot

That lone shell is Dwebble. He always naps on the shell shop during the day. Sometimes he "hides on top of the other shells

Crabs like to nap in some weird places!

I have one that naps on the edge of the tank lid. She just climbs up there and naps. She's a molting at the moment but I swear it such a funny sight!

It sounds hilarious! In our old 20 gallon, almost every morning I would find one on the mesh lid! That isn't a problem anymore, because we have a much larger tank.

Aww that sounds like a cute good morning greeting.

Thank goodness for this thread!! I saw it and thought I'd go check on the crabitat and report back. I walked into the room and first spotted Emma sitting on the lid of the tank then I saw the unnamed E hanging from the heat mat on the back. It was certainly a sight

I guess they had climbed the plants and lifted the lid. Usually I put a few of my heaviest textbooks on top (not the most aesthetically pleasing but it works) but I forgot to after rearranging the tank earlier. After getting the two troublemakers back in the tank I checked to make sure the others were all still there. Hibiscus was not pleased to have her driftwood hideout disturbed

Of course it was only the E's. They're so silly!

Emma is now scaling the lid looking for a new escape route.

@CrabbyEmerson awww they can be such adorable troublemakers sometimes but we can never stay mad lol. I wonder why E's are particularly such misbehaved crabbies though
