Post by misscrabby2you »

Straws are only for advanced crabbers. I don't recomend them for people who are fairly new at crabbing. They require advanced care and must have the tat at a certain temp and humidity constantly or they'll die.

The only time I ever see them are online. And hermie's rule is right. They require constant PERFECT temperatures and humidity. It would be a shame to spend all that money on one of them and have them die. Besides, I don't think I would get one, just because they're endangered. The higher demand, the more that are going to be taken from the beaches. I know I'm only one person, but oh well. XD

Give it some more time, you are still asking tons of questions and mis informing us on other stuff. I would do a ton of research on them first as they do take tons of care.

Due to family issues my crabs have been adopted out to wizkidsmom (Cheryl), I know she will care for them like I did. Thanks Cheryl
