thanks... I got them from a friend who bought them from a hermit crab wholesaler.

The E's I have that are/were light tan, grey, blue, black, or shades between ( but always solid and single colored ) eat the same dish as the Calico and Rust Eccies I get and there's never been any crossover in the coloring. The first group stays in the same color ranges and the second group stays in the same colour ranges.
I would love to see their picture ... :lol: :shock:
