Humidity struggles

The new crabs seem to be fitting in nicely! the littlest one was out and about most of yesterday, after an enitial digging in. Also, the one in the lighter shell came out last night. This morning the Tiger shell guy came out and was rambunchus! Rascal is getting territorial, jumping on the light shelled guy last night, and pushing the tiger shell guy off the climing background today. They are much bigger then he is, so Im not to worried! The new bulb seems to dry out the Crabitat fatser then my first bulb... :( the 'tat got all the way down to 50% humidity!!! As soon as some Red Heats some in, Im getting a new one and returning the spot light.

So far I have seen Walter, Rascal, and little E out the most, and some off Tiger E and light shell E. Gatta nae those kids! Still no sign of Crabby #1, Ralf or Winston. Winston and Ralf I have seen the least of lately... Molting? but then again, I hardly ever saw Ralf... or Crabby... Its always been mostly Walter and Rascal... The two competitors!

Gunna have to order shells from Naples soon. And the only good store with shells is leaving the mall... its alright I guess, they treated their crabs horribly! but they did have good shells. Anywho, No chirping has been heard as of today. I was kind hoping I had a talker! Its an awsome noise to hear! Oh well, that means they arnt under duress i guess. Gave them some more dried fruit today, it seems to be a hit! As do the shrimp pellets. :) Sadly, no one seems to like my crab cookie :( oh well. maybe the snails will like it more!

Got some new pictures, but have to wait to upload them, gatta work! I am pricing 20 longs right now, gunna make room and get one some day. :) some day soon! I want a waterfall darnit!! lol! Also, I want a palm tree! not a real one.. but PetSmart has these REALLY cute aquarium ornaments.. I know, Im a dork.
