The most ridiculous shell change!

Post by Lburns » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:01 pm

This is Killer Croc. She (named before we knew she was a girl) changed into this shell this afternoon. It is WAY too big for her and absolutely ridiculous. I'm not even sure why I put it in the tank. I swap out shells every couple weeks (except the favorites) and threw this one in last minute because it's pretty. Never really thinking my crabs would pick it. I thought she would switch out immediately but, she's still in it! Don't know what she's trying to prove! :lol: There are about 12 other shells in the tank (3 of which she seems to like a lot) so she's got plenty to pick from. I'm interested to see how long she keeps the big one on. She certainly can't climb around in it like she normally does! Silly girl! :lol:

Image my little baby Sebastian made this funny shell change... You can't really tell but the white one is much roomier than the black one, I picked up the white one after I thought I saw something and thought I was going insane because nothing was in it. But it was Sebastian he tricked me, and he just looks tooooo cute in his new oversized shell. He had plenty of other size-appropriate options!
