'Goliath' (male)

(recently shipped to me---his dad was huge)

'Lefty' (male)

(my 'original' male out of the pair I bought---he recently lost his right claw during a moult, but it's growing back)

'Frost' (female)

(get too close and she'll make you shiver)

That's ^^^ my entire cray collection at the moment.

What a stupid question! Of course he is.
Lefty is my favorite

Big Vine · 02-11-2008, 11:31 PM

Yup, I'm gonna breed them soon...
Goliath is gonna get to take the first stab at Frost. He just moulted the other day, so I've been giving him a few days to harden up before tossing him in with the female. Hopefully he's in form one (mating form).

If he's not in form one and doesn't happen to moult back before Lefty moults again, then I'll give Lefty a shot at fathering some babies. I want him to go through at least one more moult so he can grow that claw back a bit bigger before trying to have him mate with the female.

Thanks guys!
BV

P.S. Bob...be nice.

Helena21 · 02-12-2008, 04:10 AM

Yeah Bob be nice!! i was just making sure!

Big Vine · 03-06-2008, 03:40 PM

I got rid of 'Lefty,' so all the pressure is now on 'Goliath' to become a daddy.
Good news is that he moulted (back into mating form) the other day...

Check out the comparison in claw size:
BEFORE

AFTER^^^

Now I just need the female to hurry up and moult.
She hasn't moulted in a while, so I want her to get that over with before breeding.

So, why did you send Lefty elsewhere?

And, regarding those before and after pictures: WHOA!!!
