Got another one!

Post by Lburns » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:26 pm

I planned to only ever have 3 PPs. I lost one (RIP Robin) so got Man-Bat at the beginning of the month. When I went to pick out Man-Bat, there was a tiny little crab I looked at first but, he barely even wiggled a claw when I picked him up so I got Man-Bat instead. Went back early this week to get some greenies for my dog. I couldn't resist checking on the crabs. The little guy was still there and wiggled more this time when I checked on him so, I brought him home. I hadn't been able to get him off my mind! :lol:

Anyway, here he is:

I hope he makes it! He's definitely the shyest of all my crabs after first adding him to the tank. He is eating though. I haven't caught him in either water dish but hopefully he's drinking too.

Batman is being really sweet to him and seems to be trying to show him the ropes.
4 PPs. Crabbing since Sept. 2014. Batman - Found as a stray (holy crab!) (2 molts). Killer Croc (1 molt). Man-Bat (1 molt). Lex Luthor (1 molt).
RIP Robin (did not survive 1st molt).

Thanks! :lol:

He's still doing well. As hard as it is for me, I'm leaving him alone. Once he gets more settled, I'll see if I can get a better picture. He's irresistibly cute!!

Here is a much better photo of my newest, tiny little cutie pie. I guess we are sticking to our theme, my son named him/her (I can't tell yet) Lex Luthor.

He seems to be doing ok so far.

Wow, those colours to look remarkable! :) Did I ever mention that I want to steal his shell? It's beautiful.
