She is around four and a half inches now. Daddy is hiding a lot so I couldnt get a shot of him (think he is gonna molt)

She is very pretty. I wish the male luck with the molting process, at that. Thanks for sharing the pics... I was hoping to come across user-pictures of lobsters in this forum, in truth. ^^

I gave one of thier siblings to a friend at work she has molted 3 times in a little over a month.


Male didnt molt he was just being a lazy #28### so him and momma are in the same tank again I moved him yesterday I figure I will give em a week and then move him back. He tends to be a ***** and I dont want him stressing her out for to long.

do you know how old the male is?

I would estimate a lil over a year he was 2 inches when we baught the pair. and I have seen em reach that is 2-4 months so 12-16 months.

OK, thanks!
she looks like a Procambarus Alleni . though I'd need a better picture of the Rostrum (head section) to be sure.

keep us up to date with how they do.

being in the UK, like simonas, I'm restricted to the Australian Redclaw, Cherax quadricarinatus . only. so am sketchy on the minute details of keeping N American crays
