A crawling (2) for a connector (1) for fluid pipes comprises a female base (4) in which a male end-piece (3) is inserted in a certain axial direction (A) to produce a sealed connection, an elastically deformable C-shaped metal wire spring (5) for immobilizing the end-piece in the base, and a locking sleeve (6) which can move axially around the spring and the base so as to occupy a first axial position (P1) in which the spring can deform radially towards the outside of the base, and a second axial position (P2) prohibiting the radial deformation of the spring. The sleeve has at least one radial interior recess (12A, 12B) into which the spring retracts when it is deformed by the end-piece and when the sleeve occupies said first position. Each recess is offset axially with respect to the spring when the sleeve occupies said second position, preventing the radial deformation of the spring and thereby safeguarding the scaled connection.
