crab sizes

[fish fingers]

just out of interest let these crabs pop out of shell to see how much they grow results are as follows,1" 1/2=1" 3/4 2"=2"1/2 2"1/4=2"3/4 across the carapace

Funny how big they look after they've peeled like. Must think, 'how the hells that crab come oot of a shell that big'!

I always thought they looked bigger after peeling coz they tend to absorb a lot of water to puff themselves up to protect themselves until there carapace, legs and claws begin to harden again.

Nice pics aswell mate, really shows the difference well to.
