| Shell Switching Pics and Silly Crabs! |
|
| These are some pictures of the crabs as they switch shells. |
| Here is a picture of Jasper stretching out of his shell (at left) in preparation to move into the new shell (at right). |
 |
| Here is a picture of Ahab getting ready to dive into the new shell in front of him. This was taken right after he molted. Sorry it is a little fuzzy. |
 |
| And here is a picture of Sebastian being silly. See his little red legs sticking out of that enormous shell! He was certainly not exercising his better judgement in shell selection when he moved into this big one. Perhaps he has delustions of grandeur. He stayed in there for two days. He couldn't even reach the opening to move! |
 |
| Here is another picture of Sebastian in the big shell. As a comparison, the shell on the lower left is his old shell. What was he thinking? Silly crab. |
 |
| Here is a picture of silly Goliath backing himself into a new shell after bathtime. Actually, in this picture the new shell is his old one. He had switched into the shell in the foreground, then decided that he liked his old one better and switched back. So indecisive! |
