Jimbo shell change

Post by NLindsey921 » Fri Jan 13, 2017 12:00 pm

So jimbo finally changed shells from the murex shell he was in. He is currently in a turbo shell though not one I was hoping he would pick. But it does allow him to get into the hides easier. I'll get pictures when he pops up tonight.

On other hand Teal'C HAS not resurfaced since he went down to molt and pinchy has not come up-yet either. I did have a crab come up that i thought I had adopted out but apparently I had miscounted how many I had in my tank. So I have six crabs. I am going to name the sixth one Mr krabs.

I'll get pictures of everybody as I see them. They hide a whole lot better now that I got my purple vine in the tank.

Aww cute! Regardless, his new shell looks very nice! I'm sure he is liking the increase mobility.

I guess but all he's done since changing is sit in that same corner. Unless he's moving around when i' m not paying attention.

I would love to get a picture of mine when I get them... maybe a movie of the shell changing process. When I was a kid and nobody knew better I had a crab. ....one crab. Other details can be assumed, and I guess I deserved to lose it. This time I know what I'm doing or at least I know more of what I'm doing... it's fascinating! It really is!
