Speaking of Jumbos, I went down to St. Louis to visit Daethian from All Things Crabby and we had a great time. We ended up going to Petco and checking out their hermit crabs. They had a strange mix of Jumbos, large crabs in painted shells, and small crabs in natural shells. I got a couple of jumbos including Lewis.

He's been injured and is missing his left armor leg as well as having a huge chunk nicked out of his walking leg. He still uses it pretty well though. As you can see he is also coming up on pre-molt pretty desperately by his cloudy eyes.

I thought it was funny that I picked up a jumbo (who is now easily the largest crab in my tank) right after I wrote the article on Jumbo crabs. Ah well, I maybe change the pictures in the article eventually.

Lewis has gone off to hide as I expected. I'll just try not to hold my breath as I wait for him to come out. He sat in the water dish for several minutes without moving. It was like he was in a trance. I snapped this picture before he seemed to come around and wander off. I could just imagine him thinking . . . ahhhh, pooooool.
