I pick mine up at the sides of the shell. Hopefully there is a point on the shell and ridges so I can get a good firm grip. Spiderman Ted (my first) is a shell changer and pretty easy to work with but JUMBO is very intimidating. Certainly bigger than a golf ball with the shell and "strong". IF he gets my finger I can guarantee I would be in pain.

none of my crabs have pinched 8| ....
it is amazing really, cause I just rescued the four crabs left in the tank at the store -.- not bothering to check friendliness level really. I have no fear of any of my crabs pinching, even the one who thinks I am crazy lady XD
I love my five hermies:
Bumper, the socialite leader
Sticky, The Devourer
Shy Guy, Name says all.
Rose, hyper, never sleeps
Sharky, micro version of ShyGuy
Celebrating 5 years of Crabisism XD
