Re: What kinda of hermie do i have?
I am in no way an expert but I think they are PP's (purple pinchers), I am not 100% though. Do they have big purple claws? I know Petsmart around here only has PP's so that is why I know what I have are PP's.

Re: What kinda of hermie do i have?
I'm pretty sure all three are PPs. Ecuadorians have elliptical eyes, not spherical ones like the PPs have.

Re: What kinda of hermie do i have?
Maybe, I still think Boo is an E. I can't see the large claw, but his eyes are elongated and notice his "stripes" on his upper walking legs.

Re: What kinda of hermie do i have?
Quick lesson on species ID. Es have much bigger eyes than PPs like Boo has. And see the black spots on Boo. PPs have these, Es do not. Boo is a PP plain and simple. Species ID'ing is not something to be guessed at as different species have different needs and a wrong ID can be bad for a crab. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it is the truth. Once again, all 3 are Purple Pincers.
