Marble Crayfish

Marble Crayfish (Procambarus virginalis). These unique freshwater crayfish are parthenogenetic, meaning all individuals are female and capable of reproducing without mating. Just one crayfish can begin a colony.

Each crayfish ranges from juvenile to adult size, typically between 1 to 4 inches in length. All crayfish offered for sale have been quarantined for a minimum of 14 days to ensure optimal health and stability before shipping.

If you would like to specify whether you want your crayfish to be on the smaller side or on the larger side, please include your request in the comments of your order or email me directly using the contact form and your order number.
