HERMIT CRABS!!!

I got a new hermit yesterday so I thought I'd show them all to you =O)


















From left to right: Jocks Quintinius Verginix(Quin for short! The name is from a good book, but I'm not sure if I spelled it right)... Aimee's Rook(From the same series as the the other book)...Aimee's other Hermit named Fletcher(From another book).... My newest Crab Domavoi(Not sure about the spelling but surprise..surprise... it's from another really good book =)!!) ... Another Crab of Jocks named Cpt.Winters(wow! he's actually not from a book) =) and finally my other one named Hector. When I got hector he was in a really cool Greek looking shell that reminded me of all the old Greek stories and Hector was one of the name in one of those stories so that's what I call him. To bad he decided to swap shells soon after =)

Whew!! A lot of stories behind six hermit crabbies names!!










Flechter and The Cpt. are our two most liveliest crabs. They always follow each other around and the cpt. likes to hang on the fake trees we have in the tank! =)He also like to crawl an my hands.... aren't they cute?!?! =O)

Quin is pretty shy but he comes out every once in a while! He's a cutie too!!

We've had rook for the longest and he's VERY shy and definitely a hermit!

Hector can be shy too but he comes out to play with Flechter and the cpt. sometimes =)

This is Domavoi and right now he's being a big hermit. I got him yesterday and Petco! My poor little baby one Maximus died last week so I really wanted another one. Maximus was such a tiny cutie!! I don't know why he died but I was sad =O( I'm hoping Domavoi will be a little braver after he's been here for a while. When I was bringing him home he kept trying to pinch me and I thought he was probably hungry so I gave him a piece of a dorito and he devoured it! I think he really liked it =O)





I love my hermies!! They're a lot of fun to have.....I know some people think they're creepy and some people think they even look like spiders but they're actually really cute!!
One of the coolest things about them is that they whistle =O) weird huh? It's really cool though!! Anyways I thought you people my like to see them.

In other news my soreness from the hike is pretty much completely gone so I'm glad. Being sore hurts =O) Enjoy the weather!!!!
