I FINALLY got one, after 3 months of searching :D He's a little blue cray, and he cost me $14 (Canadian xD)

Not very good pics yet cause he/she is still hiding, but here's what I can see right now! LOL

The flash makes him look brownish, but I assure he is blue!



Without flash:


Happy!!!

Congratulations, Bri! *celebrate
It's hard to say with absolute certainty without clearer/brighter pics, but if I had to guess, I think you might have a female Cherax quadricarinatus! (based on the 'orangish' coloration at the joints on the claw arms)

Brianna,

It's hard to say.
IF it is a N. American blue (i.e. P. alleni), then it is 100% female.

However, I'm not fully convinced that you have a N. American cray...so here's what you need to do...

Check out this page on how to sex Cherax quad.:

Let us know if that helps!

Haha, thanks for the comments guys! I think it's a she, from the link that BV posted; I can see very light circle shaped on it's third legs.

LOL @ papyrus, that's a cute little poem ^_^ Thanks for sharing! Haha.

Now I gotta think of her name!

Any suggestions?

Hmm, those are cute suggestions (minus the beer battered LOL), I think I might show a little of my nerdy Trekker nature and call her Ezri. *sheepish grin*

She just moulted the other day, and it's crazy to see how much bigger they get after a moult! Also, she's kinda a mix of red, blue and green now. This is awesome!
