Anyone ever hear of a hermit crab moving into an abondoned snal shell? Ive got a Hermit totin around a mansion for his respective size...
 
Yes, we have had that happen more than once. We even had one carry around an orange moon snail shell. Kinda cool.
 
Hermits do not build their own shell, they have to appropriate shells of dead snails, or in a worst case scenario they will kill and eat the snail and then take the shell. As the hermit grows it will need larger shells.
 
riptide like the quote thats hilarious! :lol: Ya i have seen a small hermit trying to drag a queen conch shell before that was histarical!
