G.I the gentle giant Ruggie-Herbie is the first to enter Crab Heaven (that's what all crab-thusiasts say online when one passes on) .
It had been gravely sick since Day One and had been in ICU since then and had never set a claw in my yet-t0-be-named Crabitat.
So don't go pointing fingers about me being a terrible owner or something....
I went to Uncle 'HaHa' this late afternoon and he had the dead G.I replaced, 'cos that's what written on the back of its Certificate rather than 'Dead', with 2 smaller Ruggie-Hermies which I've certified as Sea Biscuit and Scarab.
Well, G.I had a hard life. Considering it weathered longer enough than the rest to grow to its enormous size, it didn't have a home to call it's own for long. On top of that , it was literally flushed down the bowl and de-shelled on the spot (apparently, the shell is more valuable.... true true.) Where's the dignity?
So never mind it stank to high-heavens in my car. That was perhaps the only it mark it trully left on me. ;p
So enuff with the sentimental.
Let's welcome :
1)Sea Biscuit: It had a stalllion head painted on its Blue shell
and
2)Scarab: It's really another race car like McQueen(albeit a shyer one) but me and my bro kinda decided we just had to name one 'Scarab' after watching The Mummy video last night. LOL (Besides, two 'S's is fitting considering the circumstances these two were adopted together.)
Bitter sweet. Clap clap clap.

Case you're wondering why I've suddenly called my hermies 'Ruggies' as though they resemble rugby players or something (they DO btw but that's not the point here), it's because mine's a rare breed called the 'Coenobita rugosus' .
Latest updates:
*Yeah yeah
1) Sea Biscuit : abandoned its original shell which inspired its name and is now residing in what was formally McQueen's 'red Race car No.4' shell.
2) Scarab: It seems to have better taste and has dropped its 'red Race car No.5' shell and had gone for the brand new shell which I just got with a black-white graphic mod design. Cool.
Getting confusing. I know. ;0p
Many pple are not thrilled. They don't see my enthusiam and pride I have of my crabitat.
These are not creepy crawlies !
They are interesting, beautiful and facinating creatures.
There.
