Preserving Pet Crustaceans One Shell at a Time | Edinburgh News
Description
Jason Philip turned his obsession with preserving pet crustaceans into a booming international business, charging $140–$300 to keep crabs, lobsters, and crayfish alive in memory after they’ve passed. Self-taught and starting with a beach find, he perfected his craft through trial and error—no animals killed, only deceased or molted specimens. Orders flood in from Australia and the U.S., fueled by emotional connections to pets like the viral mantis shrimp Ludo. His studio, Amble Obscura, crafts intricate displays and even crab-claw jewelry, turning a quirky passion into a surprisingly lucrative and deeply moving niche.
