My Land Hermit Crabs

It's taken me a while to figure out who is who among my land hermit crabs. In particular, the Violas were confusing me. However, I managed to determine the gender of a few crabs, and I'm not quite positive that I know who each crab is! This post is an introduction to my current colony.

Mako (Purple Pincher, male, 5 years with me!)


Shinto (Purple Pincher, male, 3 years with me!)


Santino (Ecuadorian, male, 1 year with me!)


Manhattan (Viola, female, 2 years with me!)


Vida (Viola, female, 2 years with me!)


Indi (Indo, female, 2 years with me!)


Takéo (Ruggie, male, 1 year with me!)


Verdi (Ruggie, female, 1 year with me!)


Lady Gaga (Viola, gender unknown, 1 year with me!)
