Es and Aussies?

Thanks Dbolack

Think the spot colour may just be the key difference between the two varieties.
To be 100% sure any E owners please post,let us know what you see

.
Crabidity and Krusty(and any other Aussies) do all of your crabs have black spots on their legs and claws that look like pepper grains?

With E's and Aussie crabs backs, I think they both can have those markings. Have you checked out Tony's links in the post above Krusty?

Do you mean actual little spots, or those stripes on their legs?

Well, I have to disagree with Tony on a small point. Aussie crabs CAN and WILL CHIRP..!! we have heard ours quite a few times and have isolated it down to Kong, unless he is some weird super species..

Yes they look exactly like ours. brown/black dots all over them with stripes down the legs.

Very true Crabidity. I've heard my Aussie crabs chirp as well although it's only a faint clicking noise.

Chirping Crazies... I guess mine are the silent, shy type! :roll:

Guess it could be very easy to miss with their chirping.
