I actually have a cart going at Richard's now! I stopped ordering and decided to get an idea of how many sizes I had and which ones I needed before ordering more, haha. I saw they were at Richard's, too. Image I had already placed the Etsy order, though Image lol

you can never have too many shells! :wink:

I ordered some spotted shells from Richards a week ago and I'm so excited. I just think they're so cute. Then again, I like polka dots. :)

ME TOO! I hope they take a liking to them. I'll be happy to see them in the tank but I'd love to see one of our crabbies sporting the polka dots Image lol

Have you gotten your order yet? I ordered some shells a week ago and am wondering when to expect them.

Not yet, it'll probably be a week or two realistically, they're busy right now (or so claimed on the site) and it does take awhile for them to arrive, you should receive an email when they are shipped, separate from the confirmation one. Takes about 5 to 9 days to arrive or so after you get the shipping notification, depending on how far you are from him.

I wasn't sure if I'd get a shipping notification or not. I'll keep an eye out for that! I was going that maybe the message on the website was old and out might ship out a bit faster that they were warning, but we'll see

I've got a couple like the ones in the top left of the picture but I would LOVE TO get my hands on some shinier ones like those striped ones on the right or even some dotted shells.
Nice score!

I love the color of your crab. All of mine are red/orange.

I caught Frankie, my smallest, trying to climb up the vines I have hanging in there hahaha. She must have fell because I heard a "thunk" that made me want to investigate c:

I accidentally left the window open which made the room cold. :( Gotta get the temp back up!

Omg the cuteness!! But sadly not yet. Image But that's because I was silly and requested shells out of the opening size range. They should be on their way any day now.
