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. -___-

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...

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