If I get a pet crab I'll convince it to wear fancy hats and gloves.

Dungeness crab vs Blue Crab is a good example of east coast vs west coast.

etalian posted:Dungeness crab vs Blue Crab is a good example of east coast vs west coast. Call me biased for being raised in the PNY, but Dungeness > Blue Crab. Although both are good and I can't really talk poo poo about blue crab. Also, it helps that I was stationed in Port Angeles, WA. where they hold the Dungeness Crab Festival, and is also just a few miles away from Dungeness, WA.

The best Dungeness is more flavorful than King or even lobster imo. I was also raised in PNW.

I've only ever had snow and king crab to my knowledge. Snow crab is kind of a staple where I grew up (Newfoundland). I really want to try more crabs!

Yeah there might be some sort of astronomical naming convention that doesn't allow that because the Crab Nebula is in Taurus, not Cancer. However: Wikipedia posted:The now-current name is due to William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, who observed the object in 1840 using a 36-inch telescope and produced a drawing that looked somewhat like a crab.

Every Christmas Eve I boil a few dungenessesess and eat them shits with hella butter and watch Die Hard and play my favorite game of Drink the Single Malt. It is easily my favorite ritual to give myself a sense of time on this dirty rock hurtling through a cold uncaring universe.

***INCOMING CRABS!*** Here are some random photos from the past 3 years of my crabitat: Here is Smee riding atop of Jojo, something not so uncommon that happens to him. Maggie Moo is ever vigilant. Whenever I let Jojo roam, I have to lock her out of the room, otherwise she immediately takes the opportunity to bat around the poor crab like one of her toys! Captain Snips! She's a feisty little rear end-pirate. Whenever I pick her up, she retracts into her shell like they typically do, but starts angrily trying to grab anything she can in her big claw. Even when I set her down on my palm, she's determined to get a piece of my flesh in her grip. I can't stop getting owned by crabs! This is a more recent pic of Smee and the crabitat. She's grown quite a bit and has moved into even larger shells this past year. I sprinkle chia, birdseed, and quinoa into the terrarium and they readily sprout on the moss, providing a really enriching environment for the crabbies. It's basically a little ecosystem in there. There's pillbugs, crickets, small spiders, springtails, nematodes and fungus gnats that thrive in there and sort of complete a little cycle in there. The crabs obviously poo poo, and anything they don't eat that isn't too big or gross gets broken down by the various scavenging organisms in the tank, which makes for some fertile substrate for moss I gather from the woods and periodic seeds I throw in there for food and decor! This is the best pic I could get on my phone of my current setup. My goal is to make a bigger, crabbier paradise someday once we move out of our apartment. I'm going to upload a video of one of them changing shells, but I gotta edit out my dumb-rear end remark first. ContraBoss fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Most of the crabs itt are cool, cute and good, but the ones with super long legs or spines make me feel p uncomfortable.

Also, aren’t crabs essentially immortal if they aren’t attacked by another animal or contract a disease? That’s a cool crab fact if I’m not mistaken. edit: My bad, turns out that’s more of a lobster fact Bagsack fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Nov 18, 2017 |

I know my particular hermit crabs have been observed to live like 20 or 30 years or so I've heard at some point, under consistently ideal conditions. The main thing that seems to be the end of the line for them is molting. Molting gets considerably harder for them as they age, and takes a bigger toll on their health during that process.

The question I've always wondered, is when crabs get drunk, do they walk forwards or backwards?
