Ha ha..right? Julian and I are always trying to figure out something that will win on that show...we always watch it.

I think my hermit crabs are about to have some sort of Mexican stand off...I am tired of their drama so may the best crab win.

I had hermit crabs 7 or 8 years ago. They were fun to watch as they crawled around, but not very entertaining when they are most active in the wee hours.

I didn't want these darn crabs...my son had to get one when we were at the beach last summer...then I got another one thinking the first one might want a friend...but they fight all the time...crab drama. And of course I am the one taking care of them...

I can hear those hermit crabs being called back to the sea. Leaving an empty tank in need of filling?

[EasternGirl]

The pet store near my house actually told me that they would take them if I didn't want them anymore...it's very tempting. I have had people tell me they had hermit crabs that lived for 18 years!

Swap them for a garter snake? Or does the pet store not do snakes?

[EasternGirl]

They have a couple of ribbons that I feel sorry for because they probably are not caring for them properly...they don't know anything about garters over there....they told me to give my garter crickets before I found this forum. I keep going and looking at the ribbons to see if they are okay...but I don't really want ribbons. I just wish someone who knew something about them would come and buy the poor things.

It's hard to find pet shops that sell garters over here! At least in my area!

[EasternGirl]

I have never seen one around here...I was actually quite surprised to see the ribbons. If I saw a garter in a pet store around here I would probably have to snag it up quickly for fear that they would not care for it properly.
