Sincere blessings on all the legacy tumblr users who are acting like the Touch Tank guy at the aquarium. All the twitter folk are wandering through and looking around dazed, until suddenly a friendly voice says "do you want to reblog a post? No really, you can, it's actually good for the ecosystem. You can add tags too, they don't mind, in fact tags are very social and curious. If you hold out your palm flat, haiku bot might come nibble on your fingers, in its natural habitat that's a symbiotic behavior! By the way if you come back in a few hours you can see an author having an Anon Asks enrichment session"
I gave in to a Craigslist ad that had been up for a couple weeks & met the person yesterday, to take 3 hermit crabs. I thought they were likely pretty small from the ad picture, but two are VERY small - 1/2" to 3/4" shell openings. The biggest is about 1" opening. And of course I JUST gave away all my smaller shells at Crab Con. 🤦 So I already placed a couple orders online, and I'm running to some craft stores after work today.
Despite not being prepared with shells like I should've, I am glad I have extra space and containers. The big baby is quite active and already changed shell once. However, the smallest just molted, and I set them up to finish eating their exo in their original tank. The other small baby has yet to move since I got them, which worries me. But I have 2 more small tanks available if I need to isolate them too! I'm anxious to get home and check on them today.

what kind of cratures do you think the trigun gang would be?
CREATURES IN GENERAL OR SEA CREATURES. BECAUSE MY FRIEND MONTY N I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRIGUN FURSONAS THE OTHER DAY. but i am the sea creature guy at heart so im gonns give u those i hope that is ok 😌 there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.
Vash: he is... so very shark coded to me. everyone looks at him and sees a dangerous killing machine. frequently covered in scars. do u see the connection here. he is specifically a thresher shark to me because of the whole sharpshooter thing and also the sad sad puppydog eyes 💙
Wolfwood: i am torn between two different types of eels for him. giant morays are more aesthetically pleasing but personally i have to go with a wolf eel both for the name and because ive worked with these guys before and theyre sooooo cool so im biased
Meryl: not technically a sea creature because she is just so bird coded to me. White-Tailed Tropicbird
Milly: is it cheating to have two cephalopods on this list. because i think i really want to say giant pacific octopus for milly. either that or a whale shark 💙 yes those are two completely different animals no i will not be taking criticism at this time
bonus Knives because i love him and i feel the most strongly about this one:
BOBTAIL SQUID.
... and also a bristle worm . for what i hope are obvious reasons
i just keep thinking about 'phantoms & fishbowls' lucemond where luke gets a mudskipper and aemond is just further disgusted/intrigued with his husband's career path
my next long-term savings goal will be a hermit crab setup i think. it'd match our ocean-themed bedroom nicely and also look at this. how could you not like this
problem is. I actually know jack shit about hermit crabs as of right now. does anyone have any resources/guides/forums/etc that i can obsessively research until i have crab money
Having a hands-off pet sucks sometimes, like if they have an eye boogey you can't swipe it for them... but watching a hermit crab tuck their eye stalks in to wipe their eye boogies themselves is adorable 😭
love how my hermit crabs just sit there and ponder. i think they know im chill now so i can walk in and kneel right next to them and they will barely react. theyre just chillin
