Which one, Calypso? If so, I have to disagree. Definitely an E. I can tell instantly by looking at the antennae. And if the shell Calypso is in, is the one you got him in, that is native to South America.

Calypso could be what many people call a Calico E, which is just an E with mottled colors.

Oh, okay. She's really dark for an E. :S Yeah, I got her in that shell.

That's just me leaning on the edge of the bed. He's in the middle. I would never let a hermie fall off my bed.
