Exotics ?

Post by citiliviey » Sun May 24, 2015 5:44 pm

I have four new crabbies, and I couldn't resist, because I think that they are exotic ?
One of the four is a Viola (?) I think . It is light purple with very red antennae . I was told a certain species had that, and I believe it was Viola ? He won't cooperate for a picture, but here you go .Image
And then the other three are the same species, I believe . I just don't know WHAT species that is . Here are some pictures of them .
ImageImageImage
If anybody could help me identify these guys, it would be great . And I want to know if they can be housed with my E's and PP's . Do they have certain needs ? Thank you !

I found them at the East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley, CA . Which is also where I purchased my 8 y/o Sulcata Tortoise . Can I house them with my others ?

It should be fine to house them with the others as long as the tank isn't overcrowded. :) But they do look cute.

You're so lucky! I only ever see PPs around here. I'd be happy to just find E's, haha.

Obviously, you need to post more pics, so we can admire them further ;)

You don't want Es. They are a little nerve wracking.
