It's more like 75-80 according to Chris Skelton as of about a month ago. It's automatically only one of the last 29 on the list since it's a Procambarus sp.

I agree. Definitely Procambarus. It looks like a P. clarkii as far as shape, color, etc, but the areola is open, so I'm going to say it's likely a P. alleni.

Edit: If you wouldn't mind sending me a male I could key it out exactly for you. As far as I can tell from the pictures, it looks like it might be in the subgenus Villalobosus, but I can't tell for sure because I can't tell if the if their are hooks on the third and fourth pair of legs or not.

I realize you are both in Georgia but anyone shipping P. clarkii around willy nilly should be aware of importation/exportation/possession regulations because it is considered invasive/exotic in most states.

Yes your package would probably leak everywhere if the container had holes. Without the ability to keep their gills moist crayfish cannot breath atmospheric oxygen for very long. A dry container will most likely have a dead crayfish upon reciept. I'd suggest a sealed container.

Nope. No P. alleni in that state. Could be a P acutus but for some reason it just doesn't look right for acutus.

I thought about P. acutus too, but there is to big of a gap in the areola for it to be P. acutus. If he can send me a Form I male I can probably get it keyed out pretty quickly.

Any crayfish can be shipped. I've checked the laws. Thanks for your concern though.

Steve you need to read thoroughly. I said I realize you two are within the same state, but ANYONE (as in ANYONE ELSE) shipping P. clarkii or other invasive/exotics should be aware of any laws governing such activity.

That said the rostrum and areola are not characteristic of P. clarkii, the chela are quite interseting though...I don't think it is acutus.
