Hermie nails are sharp, Rupert sat on my hand eating coconut earlier and it felt like getting injections in my fingers. >.<

I know right? I was holding Piggy for a few seconds the other day and he latched on with his nails... i didn't think he would ever let go lol. that's how Spongebob pinched my husband, she grabbed on with her nails first and she was so strong and her nails were digging in so hard that he couldn't shift his grip at all to avoid the pincher. he totally knew he was going to get pinched and couldn't do anything to stop it lol. it was like in slow motion too, she was moving so slowly and he was like "she's gonna pinch me, she's gonna pinch me... noooooooo...." it's really funny now but at the time, not so much lol

that's why i'm kind of nervous to hold her now after this last molt, her nails are huge and look crazy sharp

what size is the shell Rupert's wearing in the pic?

Oliver likes to think I am a tree, when I first got him it felt like the talons of a hawk digging into my flesh. he even cut me a few times. I wish I could file them

Oooh, Oliver is such a pretty pretty red! My PPs never seem to hold on to that red. Always deeper darker purpley-reds or light pinks, tans, and grayish-purples.

He is better in person

He is the reddest crab I've ever seen, all my others have always been purple or brown, dark colors. Although Seamore was blue LOL

When Rupert or Sky decide they are not budging my fingers are trapped until they let go, its easy to underestimate how strong they are.

It is just under 1 1/2 inches opening wise.

As someone who gets needles everyday (and many times a day as I have a health condition), my crabs walking on my arms are worst then doing a large injection. I have to put on a jacket before I let my crabs climb on me.

Oh my gosh

that's his new theme song
I call him that because he spurted from practically teeny to large in just barely a year. He's been down molting for about a month at the mo'
