not all E's are tiny. The smaller ones usually are the younger crabbies. The do get bigger. ;) Usually when E's get older they turn orange. I see them at the pet store all the time. Some or mediums and other are tiny!!

Oh alright. I just have never seen pics of bigger E's. I have an E a tiny bit bigger than a micro rite now. Shes super cute and I cant wait untill she gets bigger although she is adorable now.

Well I got my ruggie at petsmart ans she was the smae price as the PPs. She was the only one in the tank so I think she mihgt have been an OOPS! lol. The other exotic I got was at a famliy pet store and she was also the same. The straws are probably the most expensive because you can tell that they are differnt... plus arent they like rare?

Hmmm I dont really know. I think they are like any other animal. They are just differnt species cuz of their DNA and stuff like that. I have PPS a ruggie and an E and I dont feed them anything differnt but each crab has its favorite dish. To tell them aprt their are mutiple species identification topcis on here and on hermitcrabassocation.com
