PP in a shark eye shell?

Post by Happyhermiehome » Sat Sep 16, 2017 2:59 am

So I have this lil crabbie that was in a painted shell. she finally changed it today and to my surprise despite having 20+ turbos of various types in the tank in her size range she chose a shark eye shell! Anyone else ever have a PP choose one? Just curious as I know these are not usually preferred by PPs.

Yes they are not usually preferred but crabs are weird. I had one of my pp s in a tiny land snail shell for awhile till he outgrew it. They choose what they like at the moment and maybe he'll switch again. Crabs do the weirdest things sometimes.

Update: she switched again this time into a tapestry turbo that is like 3 sizes too big! I almost cannot see her when she retracts and I have no idea how she is managing to lug this thing around! :lol: she really freaked me out yesterday morning when I uncovered the tank I saw the Babylonia she had been wearing up in the "big crab" shell shop and thought "No...No way shes wearing one of these! I hope she not naked!" The "little crab" shell shop was undisturbed. I searched the tank and finally found her at the bottom of a moss pit in that big ol shell. She really is a silly lil thing! :D

hahaha, that is funny. I think sometimes they just like to try things on that they've never tried on before to give it a test drive before they decide what they like or not
