Species ID help please

Post by Suzenqanderson » Sat Jun 13, 2015 11:53 pm

Hello to all,

I was hoping someone could help me identify the species of our new little sweethearts.

I thought the little guy in the green shell is a PP, but want a second opinion. He's very curious and quick! Pops his little head out in no time flat when pulled out of cage.

The other little darling I think is an E (?). He's active during day and night, super friendly! He is our first- my son's first pet he EVER wanted! Go figure- a hermit crab from a trip to the beach. And he just picked one based on the shell. How lucky that we got the sweetest little guy on earth! Mr. Crabby won me over immediately.

Oh, sorry this is just a link- still trying o figure out how to embed a pic in the post. Yikes!!!

Please let me know what you think. We're upgrading to a larger tank and if he's an E, I would really like to get him some little buddies of the same species.

Thanks so much for your help!
