new crab

Heya! I'm going to bed now. I just wanted to tell you that I did indeed buy a new addition to the tank (on the 8th). I named him Pic, which is short for Picolo/a (small in Italian) and also those really small CPUs that they use in robots. :p

He's a teeny, about the size of a quarter. I'm pretty sure he's a Ruggie (Coenobita Rugosus), because he has markings behind his eyestalks going along his sides and a marking on his back, also his armor leg is kind of flat and very characteristic of a Ruggie. His eyestalks are also parallel to one another and look like this ===O . But he's very small and very shy, so I haven't been able to get a real good close up look at him yet. I don't even know if "he's" a he! I might never get the chance to see. lol

He likes to sleep/hide a lot in the potpourri hut. I'm not sure, but it might be because of Chipper. lol she is a lot bigger than him. :D

Chipper discovered the 3rd level. She likes to dig under the moss and sleep away the day... or two, or three... I'm glad she's found a place where she can destress and be a happy crabby.

In other news, I'll be starting work on Nan's bracelet tomorrow morning. She decided on the rope weave (which is my favorite! yay!). I can finish it within a day, and then I'll meet with her to make adjustments to the length of the chain (if need be) and to the safety chain. It's going to be so beautiful! My first gold chain!

And so, money will be coming my way this week. I'll be able to buy a few things for my hermies - marine salt, an infra-red bulb, and a few more decorations (like plastic plants and maybe some wood to climb) - and another hermit crab or two... or maybe more! :D

Alright. Pleasant dreams!
