I've been raising these guys for awhile now and finally got the mother off guard to take a picture.

Interesting thing, she was born from a Blue and a Brown. She was born brown, but all her babies turned blue within a week, give or take. a few weeks ago she molted and turned blue. (she look's bluer in real life)

Not selling them yet, but if you're interested i'll be sure put you on the list. First come first serve.
 
cost??
 
I'm still debating the cost. I don't want to over price, but I still have take into account the cost of shipping/boxes/bags etc. But I'm open to suggestions :). I will make a thread in the market place when I start selling.

Calculate your basic shipping first, Otto. Figure out what it's definitely going to cost you in materials and potentially what it'll cost you in shipping (I suggest picking a random location, as far from you as possible, and running it through USPS.com's shipping calculator. That'll give you the max cost you'll encounter). Then it should be easier to figure out what you can charge for the crayfish without being overpriced.

Also, check out some of the auctions on Aquabid.com and eBay.com, so you can see what you competition is. ^_^

Depends on how many you are shipping at a time. Generally, the small flat-rate boxes are a good size to use (and similar sized boxes if you don't want to buy them from the USPS), and they'll usually be the size you'll need for most orders.
