    I was just thinking... how cool would it be to have little glass shells for your saltwater hermit crabs?? So, I looked online, and they don't really have them! I only saw one, but it was for the land hermit crabs. Here's the pic:

    I think the back of hermits looks kinda weird and it creeps me out... prob b/c I had a land hermit as a pet for a long time when I was a kid... I didn't see the back until it died and came out of it's shell, and it totally creeped me out. Kinda like when you saw Darth Vader's face for the first time in Return of the Jedi...

    Hahaha... some interesting and funny posts, here. :)

    Although it would probably creep me out as well, I don't see why one couldn't use the same shell for SW hermits if they're keeping one of the larger species.
