Big Enzo's Shell Obsession

Post by Crabinski » Thu Jul 23, 2015 12:37 pm

Big Enzo cruises the shell shop at least twice a day, exploring every shell, large or small, but actual shell-swapping occurs only in the evening. Last night, clad in his favorite shell, a pearled tapestry, Big Enzo decided (once again) to try on one of the pearl turbos. He actually lasted about 5 minutes in the new shell, holding on to the pearled tapestry all the while, before switching back. Safely back in his favorite shell, he mounted the pearl turbo, re-examining the opening, depth, etc., for another 10 minutes, as though he'd never seen it before. What a goof :hlol: !

I think it's a game for my crab to see how many times he can try on the same shell!

I have a little guy who's been on a mission for over a year now. He's even stirred up a little bickering with a couple other crabs by checking their "occupied" shells out too. Haha
