another craaaab spider


I met one of these guys a couple weeks ago, it had made its home in the chain hole of my ceiling fan's pull fob. I was reaching for it to turn the lights off for bed and I saw some hairy brown legs pull themselves in. It was a really excellent hiding spot, which I appreciated, but it's also something I have to touch every day, which I appreciated less. He was relocated to a different room with the help of an empty bottle. I didn't put him outside because I respect the spiders that work for a living instead of sitting around on the web all day like me.

Crab spiders are cool because the way they always have 3/4ths of their arms out in front of them makes them look like a really jacked guy trying to pick a fight with everyone. Plus they got those stumpy little back legs, like they always skip out on leg day. Quality spiders.

When I die, I want my corpse dropped in the ocean, smack dab in the middle of crab country so that one minute one is daintily picking at my ears, and then then next thing you know three crabs are fighting over my dead balls.

Same, but it has to be cold near-arctic water though so I'd not rot through before they could enjoy the best, inner parts of me.

I would make such an excellent meal for crabs. So much calorie rich fat and cholesterol for them to snip and nibble at.

This is the easiest way to get hermit crabs to trust you; hand-feeding them something they love! Jojo never turns down chicken, or rather in this case, chicken neck.

Sorry it's a little shaky, but I had to hold the phone, open the lid, balance it against my junk, and feed the crab all at once.

His shell is pretty nice. Did you find it somewhere or buy it for him?

There's a tropical fish/small pet store that sells some shells large enough for him. I normally get them online since the painted shells you find at the big-name pet stores are usually painted and therefore toxic for them. He loves that one. As soon as I dropped it in front of him, he was checking it out instantly and moved in after a few minutes.

I love these videos thank you for sharing. I think my favorite part is the guys tiny eyes just munchin on some chicken neck. I didn't even realize crabs ate chicken, I guess it's just a universal meat.

A little bit. I was holding Capt. Snips flat on my palm, and she does not care for human interaction and will reach out and try to pinch anything near the opening of her shell. In this case, she got a hold of the skin of my palm and gave it a quick nip. Luckily, she used her smaller claw and it wasn’t that bad, but it startled me nonetheless.

Really conflicted! I can't help but to feel so bad for the snail when it gets butchered alive, but by the end of that video I would give my third nut to catch a whiff of that delectable gastropod frying in that wok. :discourse:

I can't bring myself to purchase live crab anymore. Everyone just casually steams them alive, but all I can think about is hearing them becoming more and more frantic as the temperature rises, the scratching sounds inside the pot getting noisier, and then almost all at once, silence, as steam gently billows out of the pot lid. :smith:

Get some clove oil and anesthetize them first.

Apparently my grandma used to literally beg God for forgiveness whenever she cooked lobsters. It really hosed with her head.
