    I see them on Aquabid quite regularly, not sure if anyone in town stocks them though...

      yeah they are hard to find locally and that is a fact. I have thought about going to Lousiana and collecting some of their dwarf variety (legally of course) but dont have the time right now.

        Three species of dwarf crayfish can be found in the wild in the Houston area. Cambarellus puer is widespread. C. shufeldtii and C. texanus can be found just west of town.

          How do you ID these guys? Also, I thought C. shufeldtii and C. texanus were located in eastern Texas.

            Here's a good key in general: http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/crayfish/Keys/cambarellus.htm It doesn't have C. texanus since it was described after the key was made, but the species description shows the distinguishing features. It is found between Houston and Victoria. Shufeldtii is found generally throughout east Texas, but is local in distribution. It also occurs west of Houston, in a somewhat disjunct distribution.
