I bought an emerald crab 2 days ago... I noticed his (her?) belly is opened sometimes. My first thought was, pregnant? I remember how the pregnant females looked when I used to go crabbing when I was little...
Anyway, the crab opens it and keeps putting his claws in there... sometimes to his mouth which confused me! I looked with a flashlight and it does look like little black things in there...
If she IS pregnant... how does this work? Would they survive?
If this ISN"T a pregnancy, what is it? Thanks!
(I JUST LOOKED AGAIN AND THESE ARE ALMOST DEFINITELY EGGS!)
