Elvis (finally) changed shells!

Post by PinchersAndShells » Sun Sep 01, 2019 3:50 pm

Ecuadorians really are stubborn! I believe she was in her previous one for 2 years. I was shocked when my mom sent me this picture showing she finally switched! Aaaand it wasn’t any of the new shells I bought for her. I think a purple pincher was in this one at some point. Oh well, I’m glad she’s happy! She also just started using the wheel for the first time in the past few days.
