@go_skiboard - I ordered them in February. Yes, it has been a loooong wait. By far the longest I have ever had with her.
I honestly don't know her "average wait time' beyond the first two weeks anymore.
She is going in "the order they were received" though and what's available. I think your coming in at the end of a rather long line. She ships out twice a week so it should go relatively quick. Give it another month. :)

This is Lucy :)

I share this world with a few crabs, a kid, a furry four legged barking kid, a wonderful man, and a lot of nonsense. Life is full of fun, and I'm full of life.

I don't quite like them... I ordered straw and blue this year and it takes 4 months for them to ship. They told me the blues are out so I said that it was OK for them to switch to straw. The problem is I have moved during this 4 months and I have emailed them, a lot of times for them to change the address. Yes they replied and a couple of times confirmed that they are aware of the address change. Yet at last they send them to my old address. I have to ask my friend back there to pick them up for me and it turns out 2 of the 4 have been died. My friend has them send to me yesterday and I hope the other two would make it here. :(

Um. I'm sorry. I hope your two make it as well. Poor babies. But, in all fairness, it appears you've moved around a little, right? And as you've said there were replies from her....

Thank you for the reply. The update is that the two have arrieved alive and now they are doing quite good. I do understand if they made mistake since I have been moved. In my point of view it is fine if they have not replied, just the fact they wwere awared the address change and then forgot makes me feel upset.

I ordered 2 straws on Sunday from reptilecity.com and I was able to call and speak with someone over the phone yesterday and they let me request m/f and sizes, so hopefully i too will soon be getting straws!!! :fingerscrossed: Does anyone here have any recent experience with reptilecity.com? I searched HCA but only saw it mentioned a couple times. They were more expensive than LHC but the fact that I can actually get someone on the phone who says they have them in stock makes it worth it to me. Hopefully I'll have a bunch of pics of my new strawbabies to post in a few days!!! :)

I love, love, love all of my crabs, I have a deep seated love and appreciation for my Indo's especially. But, these 4 little red monsters are awesome! I don't think they ever sleep!
