I must have one! I plan on zipping one up in my hoodie and taking it to the movies.
In other news, the hermit crab has reemerged from molting, and succeeded in regrowing his large claw. This is a hermit crab that we've had since I was in 6th or 7th grade. For its first 9 years, it lived in a 5in x 12in plastic container in our bathroom. My mom cleaned it religiously, since it basically became her pet after the first few weeks. Actually, back then there were 2, and then my dad bought another 2 to keep it company, but this one was the only one who survived. Then, my senior year of college, after my poor fish died, I brought the hermit crab to Austin and put him/her (I always think of him as male for some reason...) in the 5 gallon tank. Then, once we got to Dallas, it lost its large claw in a molt. I ended up doing some research on crabs (like, research that should've been done 11 years ago) and figured out that he should have salt and fresh water in his cage, that sand is important for molting, and what kind of food he should have. He's always lived on gravel, and apparently they're supposed to burrow in sand to molt, so now he's in a 10 gallon tank with sand and gravel and all the amenities that a spoiled hermit should have...even a bubbler pool, which I am jealous of, because I want a pool inside my house! Anyways, about a week and a half after he got his new cage, he buried himself in the sand and didn't come out for two months. But now he's back : )
