Is he a large or XL?

Post by Xenpurgisn@cht » Sun May 10, 2020 4:59 am

So I've been having my largest crab, Odin, (who just came up from a molt!) since August 2018 and I've always had trouble determining the accurate size of my crabs. When I bought him he was labeled as a ''large'' but I can't be exactly sure- I believe he's molted twice with me this entire time but I'm not really sure if he's a large or an XL. For a little picture context- fair warning I'm not the best with taking pictures, but he's on my hand ( and for hand comparisons, I'm a 18 y/o male ) Image

It'd be nice if anyone could give a good guess! Size/inch measurements would be nice too

If your hand is 'standard' (4 inches wide) and the crab does reach either side when standing like it looks in the photos, he'd be classified as a jumbo.
