My new pets – Hermit Crabs from Bagan Lalang

Damien and Mel was holding onto our loot the other day, just got these from Damien last night. Looked relatively clean, must be so since Mel said she’s gonna give them a bath Sunday afternoon.

Went to buy them a crabitat (a plastic aquarium) and some empty shells after work.

Originally I got 4, but one got naked and died sometime during the day (checked vital signs and certified dead).

Witnessed one hermie moving house (climbed out one shell and into another ~ cool)

 

The one with the new home. Very shy/afraid and grabs onto everything tightly.

The runner. Runs all over the place. Not afraid of human.
