What kind of person has hermit crabs for pets?

Post by babesbarn »

Hi I am BabesBarn from New Jersey. I have been a member since August 2010 when I got my first Hermie on the boardwalk. I have a journal and pictures if anyone is interested.
Anyhow, A week ago or so, The radio station talk hosts were asking people to call in and tell people what kind of unusual pets they have. When I finally got ON, they laughed at me and said "what kind of a person raises hermit crabs?" They pretty much fun of me but I said that some people like fish and that there are quite a few people who have them and that for someone who is interested in "behavoir of reptiles, marine life" it is not as unusual as they think. I said it would be like raising turtles, they are "neat". They laughed and hung up to hear the next caller.
so I was wondering really....what kind of person are we? I know I am caring, pay attention to detail, enjoy following the location of a songbird to see which bird it is. So what kind are you? (?)
