My newest little E! He was a rescue and didn't have any other Es to be with and I couldn't find him a home with other Es. So since I had room in my E tank, in he went! I haven't seen him in a couple weeks so I think he went down to molt. He's a cute little bugger! (Might be a she...haven't been able to sex yet, lol!)

Then of course there's Neptune, the reigning king who is likely verging on jumbo now ;) I got him out to say hello as I was cleaning up a bit in the tank. He's such a love bug!

Thanks for the compliments! I love my big guy and my new E :D

@Andy I rescued him, and he has two other E buddies so I have 3 now. I adore them!

@Kermie16
I think it's funny how they're by nature scavengers but we've spoiled them so much they have become picky. I know mine are picky eaters :D

So half of my shell shop fell. It's a hemp climbing background but I use it as a sorta hammock to hold most of the shells. Apparently command strips didn't do to well against the side with the UTH. Dwebble usually spends his afternoon napping on it. When I came home today I found him just sitting there in the same exact spot. Dwebble don't care, nothing stops Dwebble from napping on his hammock. I like Dwebble's way of thinking.

I put this strip of cocowall inside the large cork tube because we still had some isopods nestled in it and I figured the hermies could use it as a ladder of sorts to climb in and out of the cork.
Apparently Kelp thinks it's better as a chair LOL!
