Profile: Becky

This is Becky:

She is the first hermit crab, I purchased. She is the smallest of the hermit crabs I currently own. The first weeks of her arrival, she was very shy and would not come out of her shell. However, the more we held her and the more comfortable she became with her surrounds she came around and now is one of the most friendliest crab. Becky is very hard to find in the cage if she has dug down because she is so small!!

At the first, we thought Becky was an Ecuadorian crab but after she molted, her purple pincher appeared so apparently she has been a purple pincher all along! That was before we were more knowledge about identifying the different hermit crabs.
