    Hi Guys,

    This hermit chose to change this shell on Sat. It's very amusing watching him try to drag it around the tank.

    Wonder how long before he gives in and admits defeat?;D

    Hermit crabs are crazy. Sometimes I see tiny ones dragging around huge shells. Other times I see giant hermit crabs carrying around rather small shells.

    I've got a few of those . hehe. I got a big bag of empty shells on ebay for them. It's funny some of the hermits are huge now and some are still the really tiny ones. They were all the same size 5 months ago.
