No VACANCY

Post by wickedannabella »

Well we're maxing out our 10 gallon tank. We "rescued" our final Hermie for awhile.

His name is Wally and our other Wally got renamed because he didn't fit THE FLASH name, he's more of our CLARK KENT. ^) He was in a tank with no substrate and no food or water to be had where you could reach right in and grab them, kids and adults alike. He was really friendly tho, came right out to see what was up when I said HI!!!

Here are the pictures we have of our boys.

Bob (who's changed shells again since this picture)

And finally Clark, (climbing over the late Pete1)

This is our happy crabby family!!!

Glad you rescued him. I just got 3 the other night that I got cause they had things wrong with them. I think 1 is passing on. It was acting weird when I was watching it in the tank at the pet store. When I got it home it lost a leg and its large pincher.

well, i changed his name to craig. craig the crab. lol. adam and i went through names of secondary characters on south park and came up with 3. i know i know, we went through a "divorce" and i got "custody" of the crabs, but he wanted to be part of the naming process. he wanted damien craig or kevin. damien, in the show, is satan's son and i wasn't about to name my new baby after him. so we settled on the next option craig. he's already changed shells! and his big claw is so tiny! if he came out of his shell, he'd be smaller than a dime! :)
