There are Moon crabs or African land crabs from Nigeria I think. I am baby sitting one right now. I hope they are OK eating turtle pellets because that's all I have.

from my herp dealer i learn that they will come (i have order 4 of them) from Africa and also that they eat everything (well...i don't know either what does he mean by that) :)

If this is the same guy like the one that i have posted (i believe he is) then it's the Rainbow Land Crabs (Armatum garcarrcims). They grow to 4-5 inches across and they eat soft fruits.

Oh sorry i didn't mention that, this is not one of my crabs. It's one photo from the web search. click on the link below to see 2 of my 4 rainbow crabs. Btw in full spectrum light mine could look like the one photo above.
