Anybody have them? Are they even available in the US? They look beastly. Any ideas on care, max size etc?

Yea, I saw that picture but that one's a Cherax Destructor. This is my C.destructor. And if these are close enought to what you're looking for then you're in luck because they're for sale in several places although not as easy to find as most others :)

I can find cherax destructors quite easily. R u sure the pic i posted is destructor? I find it listed as setosus. The claws are much shorter than destructor. I know im not great at IDin crays but that does not look like a destructor to me....
