Reality hurts. I have had a hermit crab die but still didn't fall out of her shell, yet she did not stink. But after nudging her limbs a little, I managed to pull her out, and I concluded that she was clearly dead. :(

i agree, if it weren't for my stupid allergies, i would definitely have a job at a pet store. mostly to make sure that hermies and reptiles were properly taken care of.

So how's the job at the pet store? Have you changed their hermit crab set up to something decent?
