It's been a bizarre night. I was on around 6 before and was getting all confused because over various things and when Joe had to get on the computer I went upstairs a little pissed and really confused and really upset...
When I got to my room, I went to check on Ralphie and Dex, and I find a piece of a hermit crab floating in their water dish. Wow. I check Dex, since he's closest, he's fine...then I see Ralphie's shell...there's a really huge hermit crab shell that I have in their tank, Ralphie likes to hide in it, so I see his shell sticking out of the huge shell, and I tip it a little, and he kind of falls halfway out and doesn't move. Naturally...I freak out and start crying. When I lifted up the shell all the way, his legs and claws kind of fell apart into a little pile...
Later, when I decide to take Dex out of the tank, I see Ralphie moving. I freak out all over again and realize that the legs and claws that fell off were his old exoskeleton...he's growing a new one now. Hopefully I didn't disturb him too much by dumping him out of his hiding place and poking him around...

Leaving for Cape Cod tomorrow...if I'd been thinking ahead I would've asked one of ya'll to take Ralphie and Dex for me, but now I shall have to hope that Greg is going to take this seriously...

I think I'm a bit too attached to these hermit crabs.
