We're expecting!

One of my crabs is pregnant. "In berry" is the technical term. I'm working on a video, but it's a slow process. For now, here's the expectant mother, "before":


Green shore crab, female, not pregnant. At least, not "showing".

She was climbing the walls; a perfect position for determining her sex. The white bottom of the abdomen is narrow and triangular in males, wide in females.

I'll have the video ready by tomorrow.

    I've just had the most enjoyable half hour or so going through the posts i missed while I was sick. You've been busy!

    I can't wait to see more of what 'we're expecting'!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
