No one has attacked you.

A rule was broken, it was pointed out to you in a matter of fact way, and I sent you a PM to ask you to edit your post that included reference to a curse word.

If someone is sending you attacking or inappropriate PM's, screen cap them and send them to me so that I can address that.

This thread needs to be kept on topic. If it cannot be, I will lock it.

For transparency's sake, I do not believe in deleting posts. Eventually this thread will be archived.

I think bellatrix is molting, she is definitely down and I hear her scratching but haven't seen her for three days. I just got her shells I ordered too, the land snail shells that are not painted since the painted shell she came in is a land snail shell. I am hoping she will change finally. She had looked at lots of shells but won't leave the painted one. That's why I ordered the land snail, and now she is down under

Usually after they molt they're more likely to change shells, good luck!

Penny finally changed shells from her awkward conch to a beautiful polished magpie, still no sign of bellatrix.

I had my one crabby down molting in his painted shell for months. I hated it, but it seemed he preferred to molt in his shell. As soon as he was done he came up and changed. No worries [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] after she comes up, just make sure there's no paint chips in the sand. The abrasiveness of the sand might cause that. I just sifted mine out.
