My E's shell modification

Post by karlys » Sun Dec 10, 2017 12:46 am

My tiny E ditched his moon shell in favor of a green turbo tonight. I took it out to see if he'd managed to modify it in the couple months he'd been wearing it and he did! Pretty cool to see. I put it back near him in case he decides he made a mistake in switching lol.

I have an E, and he has been in the same, hideous ostrich painted shell, even after her first molt.
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.

I kept reading when E's came up about how shell stubborn they are, so I definitely continue to be surprised by my E. He switched out of his painted shell within a couple weeks and now this. I hope yours changes soon though!
