a quick way to identify?

mysticalsoaps · 07-03-2008, 12:07 AM

ok, I need to get some pics so you guys can look at them and let me know, but for now-
Indo's and PP- whats the difference(besides where they come from...) Like how do i know its and indo or its a pp?

Ruggies and Eucs- I am having the dilliest of a time trying to determine which ones i have. to me, they look the same. I see descriptions and pics online, and sometimes i think i have eucs, sometimes ruggies.

I have this micro hermie- he is the freaking greenest of green!! I am suspecting he is an euc. now some of my other that i am just not sure on anymore- some are very light in color, some darker, and one is a greeniesh brwn.

I'll work on pics, but if someone could give a i-am-stupid-quick-tutorial-for-idiots, I would so appreciate it!!!
Thanks!

If you need help trying to figure out how to post pics ask Krackersmom2! She's really smart about that kind of stuff.

I numbered the pics in question- 1, 2, 3, etc.

they arent the best, but maybe it'll help. I am gonna pull some guys out tonight and use the guide and go from there too.

my red white and blue pic is there, I gotta load that for the photo contest too!!

**HERMEZ** · 07-06-2008, 05:12 PM

I did not look at every pic but they are E's!

mysticalsoaps · 07-06-2008, 08:32 PM

Thanks Hermez! I kinda figured when I pulled them out tonight and looked @ their bodies and saw hash marks on each one. I was very disappointed. I want some ruggies so bad!! I call the one and only pet store in the area that seems to get them in, and they sell them 3-4.00 cheaper than anyone else. for 2 weeks now no crabs in their shipment, even though they are ordering them!!! amazing, its a crab shortage...lol

The funny thing, the one e looks like he has stitching on the claw!!!

I think my others are just pp's. they dont do much but sleep. Most of the E's are pretty active. now I definately know what to look for when i hit that stinking pet store the next time they get in crabby's!!! There is also another place I want to try that is out where I pick up my daughter. Just to far to drive to make a special trip.

my jumbo I just got the other day to replace mr crabs is missing a leg, i am mad i didnt notice it before I bought him!!

off to bed, i had to take allergy meds since the cats decided to be all over the place and into everything!! (thats what you get when you have to siamese- one is just a hair older than a year, the other is 5 mos old!!)

E's can have stitch marks but the BP's are smooth not bumpy and they arent as pronounced as Rugs!!
