Anybody lose a pet crab?

[mrsyarbie]

Imagine my surprise this morning, when I was walking between my house and that of my neighbor with my dog when my dog spotted a large crab in front of my air conditioner. My dog jumped back because the crab reached a claw out at her. I ran into the house and woke up my hubby and he could not see it. I was not drinking by the way..Perhaps it crawled back under the air conditioner. What we want to know how the hell did it get there ? And should I call someone. I alerted my neighbor with very little dogs...
Any takers ?:a040:

I saw what looked like a large crab crossing Abana Path near Pinellas the other night, but I didn't have time to stop. Maybe I wasn't crazy after all!

There's a YouTube too. Blue Land Crab in Florida in HD - YouTube (http://youtu.be/vgxY8iC_Jn4)

That article, which is well- authored, says these crabs would be in S. Florida, usually within 5 miles of coast.

So....how is it we have them in central florida, nowhere near a coast?

When I read the title of this thread, I thought this was a joke about someone's husband getting lost. :shocked:
