I don't like them honestly. There cute, but it's a lot of hard work to take care of them.

I had 3 small ones, one lived over a year and a half, I loved them, but people underestimate how much work they actually are.

Now, I've never had one myself but I remember when I was about 4 my old neighborhood friend had one, and she brought it outside and we waited about an hour for this thing to come out and it just never did. -___-

It's up to you, but it's pretty high matenance, still lesa then a dog. I had a buch when I was little, and up until last year I stopped getting them, cuz they die a lot(like, fight to the death. I am not kidding. do not buy more then one at a time) but afterwards, I have all these stupid shells I bought!! It's practically a collection.

I had one and I liked it at first but after a day or so I got bored, because it did nothing. It wouldn't even eat, after 15 days or so it left it's shell and died, poor Shelly...

Lmao. Some of you girls' stories are kinda funny. Its sad they died but the way you explain your stories like so casual. Haha I don't know I kinda got a kick out of it. :)

I think they are social and you need extra shells to change into.
