MY BABY PP IS ALIVE!!!!
So, when I was setting up the 55, I had 4 purple pinchers. 2 large, 1 medium, and 1 tiny. They were in a 20 gal long. I had added all my substrate and stuff, and I apparently miscounted. I thought I had removed them all before I started transferring the substrate from the 20 to the 55 (I add their old substrate to give them a "familiar smell) but I came across my baby PP. He was buried at the absolute bottom in the back corner. He was the one that buried immediately after I adopted, but I thought he had surfaced already.
I immediately placed him in the 55 with the others, stopped everything and covered the tank with a blanket. I was terrified I had killed him. The next morning I counted and the 2 large and 1 medium were up, my tiny buried again. So i waited. I just KNEW I had killed him, but lo and behold I came home from work this morning and HE'S UP! AND he's in a new shell!!!!!!! I now have 4 PPs up and 2 Es buried!
Anyways,he changed into a murex too! (Is that what theyre called??) It's way too big for him, but I'm just glad he's up and alive!!!!!

Yay! So glad it’s still alive!!I have one that’s in a shell like that too...I was surprised because it seems far to heavy but despite all the other shells I have (and that he/she checked out)...it’s still in that very same shell lol. I ordered a couple more like it to see if it prefers that type haha

Re: MY BABY PP IS ALIVE!!!!
I only have a couple like this, but PLENTY of rounds available. This one is too big, because when he pulls in you can barely see him, but he's happy and healthy!fandt94 wrote:Yay!

Re: MY BABY PP IS ALIVE!!!!
Thanks y'all. I definitely learned to be more careful. This one had a great outcome but I got lucky and my guy is a trooper. He's enjoying the bigger tank and his friends
