Too funny Stacy, must be a crabby connection. lol. Anne, I currently have 6 C. clypeatus (PP’s). that are still with me after many years and a move half way across the country. Currently working (3 years now) on a book about land crabs in captivity. Hoping to start putting together a crabitat in the spring for a small herd of E’s.
I’m Greg. New member here, but not new to crab keeping. I have kept hermits since my teenage years (many many decades ago). LOL. I am an entomologist and have always been fascinated by the world of creatures with more than 4 legs. Was a very active member here, but have taken off a few years.
