Cozy crabs!

Post by GreatVegetable » Sat Feb 17, 2018 12:41 pm

Two of my crabs, Hermie and Ernesto, chilling on some chola!
I havnt actually determined the sex of my crabs yet, so I may end up with some name modifications, but these two in particular seem very fond of one another, always together. Image

Cute!

As an aside, I’ve found that crabs seem to not be incredibly fussed about human gendered naming conventions :D

Your crabs are so cute! I also love their deep red colouring. Are they Purple Pinchers?

Yes they are PP. I have 3 total, all different sizes, those are the larger two.

They do have beautiful colouring; I've always adored Sheldon's. I wonder what he'll look like when he comes back up. :D I'm particularly fond of Aussies, though. Love their eyes. :D

I’ve given up on sexing or naming some crabs really. I just call them by what their shell looks like.
