Yeah they are found all up the East coast, they get to about 70mm not including the pincers or breathing tube.
If you want to buy some I know a guy that collects them and can ship some to you

Hay Geckoman, don't move anywhere near Japan, I would hate to see that thing mutate because of nuclear flat out and become about 2-3 meters long, there would be no where to hide.

Gregory freaks me out, but, for some reason i cant stop looking at Gregory!
any chance of a feeding pic to freak me out more?
