I had a similar experience with a hermit crab.  I had been told that if you
wanted his (or her) shell, to put it in a really hot place in the water with a
same size shell next to it.  Well, the crab and I sat for two hours.  I feared
a heat stroke, and finally put the crab in cooler waters and went home without
it.
 
Happy Easter everyone.  As of Monday, my new address will be
[log in to unmask]  I've given up on AOL and will try another
server--besides, it's a lot cheaper!!
