New shells!

Post by arsavoir » Wed Jan 10, 2018 12:14 am

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted, holiday season and all that. But updates! Blue and Winston are underground and have been for awhile, Turbo is still in iso, moving him back to the main tank this week, and lil Ruby pops up every now and then in the wee hours. BUT—JARETH and LEO have switched shells AGAIN. (We bought new fancy ones)

That's not natural is it? If it is where do you get them?

Is the turtle painted on? It's really cool.
