Ok update time!

I really apologize for not posting within the last few weeks! It's been pretty hectic with the holidays and all the new crabs... Well here's some updates.

I received 2 E's for X-mas (Pet Center's free crab thing again... grr) from my Uncle and went back to the PetCenter the next day with my dad. I brought in about 20 caresheets for them to look at and hopefully pass out to people who were getting their crab with a coupon. The worker there seemed really interested that I'd brought in caresheets for them (even though their tank followed almost none of it) and thanked me by letting me take another crab for free (also used a coupon). So I picked out the two tiniest E's I could find. The lady behind the cash register placed the caresheets next to the (slightly improved since last time) tank... Later my dad walked in with a coupon and got a large beautiful brown-black E.

Well I managed to get photos indivudally of the new "rescued" E's and here they are!






































































































































Gorgeous dark brown-black-with-a-hint-of yellow Ecuadorian. Thinking of the name "Hershey", it fits him well LOL.

They are currently housed in the 20 gallon iso, however I am going to cut that plexiglass today(or tomorrow) and get some aquarium sealant to FINALLY patch up that 40 gal spare tank in the back and give that to them.

In other news, my yellow ruggie Hachi-Roku is up from a flawless molt after 3 weeks of absence today! He'd gone down the day after I moved him to the main tank with the others and he's now back up looking even paler (strangely) then before, but much more hair and VERY sharp leg tips. Also the exo is darker in a few places, typical of Ruggies.

Someone brought up his exo BP to munch on last night. That makes my fifth confirmed molt so far! I suspect that another adopted E has already molted and another is in the process of doing so but have no evidence so far.
