Can I get in on this here crab thread?

I�ve had bunches as pets, hermits as a kid, a bunch in grad school, including what I think was a Chilean shore crab, fiddler crabs, Halloween crabs, and watermelon fiddler crabs. Also some of the regular pet store red claws and a few that I think were tiger/leopard, something like that (pet store recommendations did not end well on that one

would love to try all of that again but availability in warmer climates seems to be curtailed over concerns about release into the natural habitat, it seems.

I also have several crab tattoos, because they�re rad and I�m weird.

Edit: only remaining picture of all of those mentioned above: https://m.imgur.com/a/mggIfim

Random crab factoid stuff:

One of the neatest things I ever saw about crabs was a group of scientists/mathematicians who figured out that crabs� legs work according to a mathematical formula, which is how they are so maneuverable (omni-directional but also hard to take down). They were looking at making mechanized versions, I think, it was on Netflix or something a while back, not finding anything for it now though.

Also, has anyone ever been on a beach boardwalk around mudflats at low tide? I did once or twice in/near Charleston and hundreds/thousands of fiddler crabs moving in unison makes a very impressive and distinct sound.

And Planet Earth 2 has some great crab stuff too, except for the update on Christmas Island. Those invasive ants can go to hell

I read somewhere that they taste terrible and dont really have that much meat on them.

That video a long ways back with the guy (over-) enthusiastically looking for them said they were being hunted heavily, so who knows.

Really, you�d want at least two because a group of coconut crabs is called a nightmare, and that makes an even better sign.

I've been casually reading through this thread for a couple weeks. I like crabs, good crab thread. I cant get a crab pet because I already have frogs and lizards and cats and it's too many, but if I didn't have those other pets I would now probably get a crab friend or two.

Last week I was in minneapolis with my wife for a ceramics conference and we went to a lot of art galleries to look at pottery and I kept noticing crabs on a few. I'm sorry I couldn't take pictures so just imagine mugs and vases and whatnot with crabs depicted on them.

Get rid of cats and give yourself over to a world of tiny skittery critters.

Choosing to believe it�s still alive and chilling there by choice, thus thriving on the desolation we sew (like them hermit crabs) and no doubt outlasting we lot.

Bah, I got out of that game years ago, maybe again one day though.

Started following an account on IG that�s designed some nice setups for his (mad that Canada and the northern US gets way cooler variety than we do), reckon I oughta do a lot more vegetation in a tank next go-round.
