Default No....

Last night, I had a naked guy running around. So I took him and his shell out, rinsed his shell in dechlorinated water, and placed him and his shell in a cup to try to get him to go in to it. I waited for a while and he wouldn't go in the cup, so I stuck him and his shell in iso so he could have the proper temps and humidity. I figured he'd change back in to his shell (or another shell) shortly and go back in the main tank. I found him this morning, still naked, laying next to about four shells that would have fit him perfectly. I don't know what happened. He had freshly molted, too... he was still really pink... but for some reason he dug up, naked. I definitely feel like I should have handled it differently, but I'm still not sure what I should have done. Well it's too late for all of that now... he's gone... and I'll just have to pray that it never happens again.

Why breed and buy when shelter animals die?

If you can't afford the vet, you can't afford the pet.
