does any body have any that they would sell me or know any where that sell them

i would prefer not to get them from a petshop as they arent as tame but i would buy from there as a last resort.

They can order you some if you ask them. I used to have some myself but one died and they need to be kept in pairs or more ideally and the other one died a few weeks after. They were fun though, definatly good pets, though a bit shy! I think they cost about £7 each, it depends on how big you want them to be when you get them, and they might not still be able to get them.

are they the crabs that like to change their shells?

Yes. they need to be kept with a few empty larger sized shells for them to move in and out of.
