I had my own section for the lucky ones I was allowed to save! Leon is definitely 100% a male. We had to know the sex by sight because the females have that delicious orange roe or “cheese” inside people go nuts for. The minute you opened the grocery store box and I saw that narrow tail I said you poor little guy!!! The females have much wider tails to hold all the eggs when they spawn. You never need to flip him over! :) That time when he planted the grass in front of his cave I think he was trying to woo in a female. They are incredible creatures and I enjoyed it as much as you are. I am so in love with Leon!!!! You are letting me relive my childhood and you are so kind to him! Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

To really tell, under the tale at the very base are 2 small fins, on a male they are larger and stiff, on a female they are very small and wispy.

Even if you could take Leon to a remote coral area where other lobsters of his variety live, it would be a waste. The other lobsters would soon tire of hearing him tell over and over about his brush with death and how he ended up in a luxury resort where he was fed daily with great food. None of the other lobsters would believe him, and soon no others would come around, and when he came upon a group of lobsters, they would quickly spread as if they had some other important things to attend to. Leon would still be a loner. He would wish he could return to watch the cats and the pretty fishes on the other side of the room. At least where he is, he knows he has a friend.

This is a Disney movie script

Rewatching the Leon series and something that stood out to me was when you mentioned that releasing Leon wasn't practical. You're absolutely right, I just wanted to expand on the why a little more :). In South Carolina, you're actually a little south of the American Lobster's natural range. American Lobsters like cold, rocky water, just like what you'd find in New England down through around Virginia. Being dropped in the sandier sea of the Southeast would be pretty jarring for a species from further away. I grew up in Maine and spent a lot of time out on lobster boats as a kid, so lobsters have a special place in my heart :)

I love how you’ve saved this lobster. Look how the colour of his shell has changed! Please, please, with the bigger tank give him an environment! Live plants, a coral box he can hide in, and LIVE fish, clams, etc. Don’t feed him dead stuff. Continue to play with him, maybe some balls or something.

Of note, as he's a Maine Lobster (the kind sold live by grocery stores), Leon's not actually from the ocean environment that you're from. He's from the northern parts of the North Atlantic (Maine, Massachusetts, Conneticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Quebec, and Newfoundland) rather than the more equatorial regions of the southern North Atlantic and the Gulf Coast (Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Carribean, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, and Mississippi). That means that releasing him in the Carolina Coasts would be like setting someone from Europe down in the Phillipines.

For leon to go from no longer even moving when you got him out of the box to actively engaging with everything in his environment and constantly shifting is insane to me. He was clearly depressed and ready to die, his body probably shutting down from lack of food and care.

One nice benefit to wearing a face mask is it keeps your face warm out in the cold (stick to high quality sports masks or cloth ones). Also if you want to grow a beard and hide the awkward stages. I think writing people off as dumb for wearing a face mask seems a bit unfair to them. I do agree that its dumb to wear a facemask outside with not much people around since its healthier to breathe fresh air though.

It's absolutely incredible watching Leon change colors as he becomes more and more healthy.... so sad thinking that even a lobster is a living creature that just gets thought of as food. Lobsters are actually incredibly smart, so I wonder if he knows hes in a better place?

I had heard of people buying lobsters and releasing them back into the ocean, but realized how pointless that could be, after your first video. Leon had such limited mobility due to the rubber bands and I imagine living in such a cramped tank, it seems unlikely they would have survived. I get why some are suggesting that Leon should be returned to the ocean, but as long as you're taking good care of Leon, I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping them.

Agreed. And all it would cost to put a lobster back into the ocean where he could be caught again seems pointless. Especially since he was bought from a store which will continue to sell lobsters anyway. So yes, it would be potentially "saving" (for all we know after the trauma of what he's gone through he might prefer life as a pet) Leon I think it would be better to dedicate those resources (effort, time, money) and put it towards saving the ocean habitat from which he came.

Buying lobsters and releasing them is actually a very harmful move, as it’s going to support the fishing industry and make the demand seem higher, which will cause them to produce/hunt more animals that will all find themselves in this exact position. But what this guy is doing is of course not harmful. In the contrary, he showed thousands/millions of people how lobsters feel after that traumatic journey and how interesting they actually are.

I just misread that as attracted lol

Leon is almost certainly male, considering the narrowness of the tail. The swimmerets (pleopods) in general are not a good indicator of gender. Only the front two are appreciably different between males and females. I think he'd also be a lot happier with a cave or other shelter. He's gotta feel pretty insecure out in the open all the time. This will be especially important when it is molting time. Finally, Leon will also probably be happier if you can chill the water a bit, since 65 deg F is quite close to the stress threshold temperature (68-70 deg F) where his systems will start shutting down. I think he'll also live longer at a cooler temperature. BTW, if you turn him loose in the Carolinas, he will almost certainly die when the ocean water heats up in the summer.
