Cool pic from the last Scott Smith's Expo

My gf took these pretty cool shots of an Ivory at the last Scott Smith's All Animal Expo. It is owned by Riverwalk Reptiles. Thought I would share :)

Here's a pic of some moon crabs that were at the show. We bought one 2 shows ago and just picked up a second at the last show (she is the girl all the way at the bottom of the pile lol).

Whoa, those moon crabs are unreal! They didn't have those at the Sacramento show last year... They're beautiful. So is the Ivory!

moon crabs are tight i have come so close to picking one up the last 2 months. the orange and purple on them is insane, what is a good care sheet on them?

I have never seen moon crabs ...they are so cool looking. The colors are amazing!

Riverwalk Reptiles has had that same Ivory for the past couple shows, very gorgeous snake! I love that show to pieces! There is one this weekend!! *excited* :banana:

wow, I was trying to figure out if those moon crabs were even real or not at first glance. Amazing looking little guys

The moon crabs look like the are frowning to me.

Haha! Those crabs are awesome, don't look real in person either but they sure are :)

I haven't been able to find too much info about caring for these little guys.
Here are two sites that looked pretty decent. http://kent.k12.oh.us/MrZ/zooclubweb...oweencrab.html

I have them in a 10 gal tank with substrate similar to the compressed Zoo Med eco earth. They are sharing a heating pad with Compton, he only uses half the pad so the rest is resting on their tank. Then I just have a small fresh water bowl, small salt water bowl, a food dish and some cage furniture for them to climb on. I feed them a mix of table scraps and prepared hermit crab food. They seem to enjoy it. They are very interesting creatures for sure!
