I have never made public the exact method I use to put Howie's leash on for fear of backlash. I used to use a soft aquarium net to lift her, but now that she's so old, using tongs ensures she doesn't slip or drop. She isn't as agile as she once was, and since her last molt, I have switched to picking her up with tongs for her safety. Once the leash is on, she is much easier to pick up and handle because I have the support of the leash to prevent dropping her. Crustaceans can die if their shell cracks. This may look bad, but I assure you it has been safe and effective. She even reaches up and readies herself to be picked up! Howie doesn't mind one bit, and she loves getting to be out of her tank ❤️#howiethecrab #crableash #petcrab
