Now that is sad...most of those don't make it. They harvest them in the carribean at night, throw them in a sack and ship them with no food or water. Half of them are dead by the time they arrive to the pet trade. Half of the ones left alive soon die after sale because they're in poor health. Sometimes they force them into painted shells and glue them in so they can't leave the shell, knowing full well they are killing the crab. They don't care as long as it lives long enough to sell it. Don't buy crabs at pet stores, and especially at vacation sites. There are American breeders that sell online. (Crab momma rant over)
