RIP?

I think one of the new guys should be renamed snack. Cause I think thats what became of him. Crab-i-cide. =( I think it was Krabby Patty (the biggest) that did the deed, cause I found the shell right where he's been hanging out for a couple weeks now. Stinker.

Rock Paper Scissors anyone??

I adopted 3 new crabs on Sunday!! They were listed at http://www.crabstreetjournal.com/ this past spring, and we were finally able to connect this past weekend!!! I named them Rock, Paper and Scissors, but it will take a while for me to assign them names, as I can't tell one from the other. That will take some more studying. I added lots of new teeny shells to the crabitat, but I don't think any of them have switched. Only one seems to be in too small of a shell. The other two seem to be in good fits. Anywho, they are teeny and so cute. Everyone has been quite active in there since I added the newbies.

If the one there in the light shell stays like this, it will be easy to tell it apart, cause its a bit shy. But it did go for a walk on my arm the other night.





Mr. Krabs, newbie, newbie, Mrs. Hermit, newbie, and Krabby Patty.



Matchy matchy shells. Aren't they smart? LOL

SERIOUS SCAM AT SAMS CLUB BE CAREFUL!

I don't how many of you shop at Sam's Club or Costco, but this may be useful to know. I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. This happened to me and it could happen to you!! Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 23-year-old well-built guys come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both are shirtless and start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their highly-defined chest muscles and rock-hard abs exposed. It's impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to another Sam's Club or Costco. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start talking dirty about what they want to do to you. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and begins kissing your neck and begs you to pull over so he can make love to you!! While this is going on the other guy steals your purse!! I had my purse stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday, again on Saturday, and also yesterday and most likely tomorrow. I'm running out of purses....

Again, not about crabs,

Hi AOII!!

I have a couple new readers. Have fun ladies!!! =)

Fun =)

All three hermies seem to be quite a bit busier during the daylight hours, which is fun for me.

DH just told me the other day that his sister is making plans to buy the petstore she works at. So you know what that means......at cost crabbies. teehee

She's back

Cause I dug her up. LOL and I don't feel a bit bad about it now. Found her in the front corner (where there was a big crater the day previous-I think one of the others went looking too). She was under about 7 inches of play sand. There was just the small pincher and some toe tips left for her to eat...but she finally molted and is in her..... 3rd shell since coming back up. LOL

In other news.....I am going to be adopting 4 crabs from a gal in Spokane. But two have just gone down recently to molt, so as soon as they are surface, we will meet up to handthem off to me!!! I am so excited.

Where oh where art thou?

Mrs. Hermit has been buried for quite a while. I didn't expect her to go down so soon after the first length of MIA status. I hope she's okay.

I got 3 shells at the craft store,oh, about 1.5 months ago, pink murex shells. 2 were occupied within hours and have been ever since. LOL I am glad, cause it was the first shell that was big enough for Krabby Patty. And they both can squeeze waaaaay down in there so you can hardly see them when they are hiding. LOL

I'd post pics, but I clean that tank up nice each night, and by the am, its destroyed. Stinkers.

And Krabby Patty makes 3!!!

Unbelievable. Woke up to Krabby Patty be-boppin around this morning. Shell fully covered in sand. Looking back at my last post about him.......he went down on Nov. 17th. Gads. That was a looooooong wait. I was days away from digging. LOL I had been told that crabs could be down for as long as 3 months, but I didn't believe it. I do now!!! And all three crabs seemed very pleased to be back together again and were awake and giving me visual interest for several hours this morning. Both Krabby Patty and Mr. Krabs climbed that net upon digging out from below. I put it up while they were molting. They seemed to enjoy it. Mrs. Hermit has taken a couple naps on it as well. So cute. I love my crabs. I STILL have pictures to share. The good news is they are off the camera, onto the hard drive. Baby steps.....

Mr. Krabs.......

He's been back up now for a couple weeks almost. Just after my last update I think. I was walking past the tank and saw lots of legs getting ready to scale the netting in there. But then a few hours later was buried again......but is up and down each day. Spending the better part of the day hiding either under the hermie hut, or in a hole. There are two tunnels that I can see in the play sand area. Pretty neat. But Krabby Patty is still MIA, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried at this point. Ah well.......its still within a reasonable time frame of molting.

I snapped some new pics too. Will add those once I crop them. I cleaned out the inside windows of the tank in hopes of some good pics. LOL
