What is the size of a true jumbo?

Post by Julsie » Thu Jan 16, 2020 11:00 am

I’m just curious what is considered jumbo to you? I’ve seen youtube videos of “jumbo hermit crabs” but what are they really compared to that makes them jumbo? I’d also love to see pictures if any of you own a true jumbo and not just a crab considered medium or large. I have a pretty big crab who outsizes all of my other crabs by a long shot and I wanted to see if I could compare him to any of yours. I don’t know whether he is just a large crab or a jumbo. I bought him from petco and he was the biggest one they had and every time i’ve visited that same location or even another pet store I haven’t seen another crab his size.

The HCA care sheet has a link to a well-accepted size guide that you can print and put your crabs on!

What if you don’t own a computer or printer? And that sheet all you have to do is place your crab in the center? From the looks of it if I placed him on a printed paper in the center of the guide he’d oversize it?
