Rose changed again

I though that es are supposed to be very picky about changing. Rose has switched shells again. This time to a whales eye shell. Pictures to come.

They are picky, which might be why she's still changing - hasn't made up her mind yet! Whales Eye were popular with my last E. But it could also just be her personality. Some crabbers have insane ones that switch daily, and some never. Just her doing her thing. (:

Yeah. When i got her I was prepared for a battle to get her out of her painted shell but she switched after about an hour. Then she switched again and now she's switched again. Teal'C on the other hand is still in his painted shell and has gone down for a molt. Hopefully when he comes up he will change as well.

That sounds about right. It's good she was eager to switch. I'd chalk it up to a silly personality. ;)

She's so pretty!! I just love Es. I can't wait to bring mine home. Love Jimbo's coloring.
