GodzillaHermitCrab's crabs have MATED. and had BABIES.
this is INCREDIBLY RARE. it really shows how well she is taking care of her crabs that they have successfully mated, carried eggs, and the EGGS HATCHED!!!! seriously, that is incredibly rare and special to happen with captive hermits crabs. and the babies are soo cute! @@
Sadly this time the babies did not live, as they need a super special environment to survive (described below)
so we have this notice from member
GodzillaHermitCrab. if you know of -any- resources or even suggestions that might help her out in any way, this is a great cause to support. i especially recommend purchasing some of her special harvestables for your crabs special snacking needs. // she often has special seaweed, flowers, bark, and many other wild foods she gathers herself that are very special extra healthy treats for your crabs and very affordable. you can buy treats like that in many places for your crabs so if you are purchasing foods for your crabs, please consider helping out shadoe with a purchase from her! i will be. your crabs will really benefit from the healthy foods and please take her as an example to aspire to, her crabs are very well cared for and the food she feeds them is a big part of it. //
also ii have to say she's an extremely talented artist as well and does really excellent pencil work. // check out her gallery.
HERE IS HER REQUEST: I am trying to raise money to set up a marine tank in the future because my hermit crabs seem to be trying to reproduce. You can see photos in my gallery of the female with her eggs, and links to videos of my crabs mating are located in the descriptions. They are worth checking out.
It's going to cost me anywhere from $200-300 to set up this marine tank, so I am offering my art skills for cheap this summer! I'm not amazingly good at hermit crabs yet, but I will link to samples of my work so you can see. I work mainly with graphite, but I also do pen and colored pencil work. I will draw to the VERY best of my abilities, and there is no charge if you are not completely satisfied with it.
Small portrait: $5 (subject is ~2--3 inches high)
Medium: $10 (subject is ~3-5 inches high)
Large: $15 (subject is ~6 inches high)
Send me a photo of your crab that you want me to draw. I prefer the photos be of high quality so I can extract as much detail as possible. I require high-res photos for the large sized drawing.
Prices are for one crab. Add an extra crab for $3 to the small, $7 to medium, $10 to large.
Payment will be through PAYPAL only after I have finished the drawing to your satisfaction. Shipping will be added to the price if you want the original. Or if you only want a digital copy, there will be no shipping charge.
Note me or send a message to spiffy_miffy@hotmail.com if you're interested. Serious people only, please!
I also draw equine if you're interested, but those rates will be different. I can also attempt other subjects.
Samples of my work:
farfinmosker.deviantart.com/ar…farfinmosker.deviantart.com/ar…farfinmosker.deviantart.com/ar…I also have many drawing of other subjects on that account.
I will also be selling harvestable packs in August for very cheap! It will be $8 plus shipping and you will get A LOT of everything (or your choice of stuff if you don't want certain things) including dehydrated wild Alaskan blueberries. A full list of the items in the pack will be available in early August, but if you want to see what I will probably be offering please see my journal:
godzillahermitcrab.deviantart.… once again seriously, consider buying your next crab food from shadoe. your crabs will thank you and it will support a very worthy cause.
