Escapee

I had a couple of odd early morning encounters this week.

Nothing bad bad.

Just mostly odd in that it happened two mornings in a row.

You see, we have this Red Claw Crab tank in the store. It has a lid and such.

But the crabs have been known to occasionally....escape. 

Mostly it happens when the lid on the tank isn't properly placed over the opening. As said opening has wires coming out of it from the filter and the heater we have in said tank.

In any case.

If the lid isn't put on just so...there can be a large enough gap that the crabs can actually climb the wires of the tank...and get out.

It happens on occasion.

But not often. 

But this week I found 2 crabs -maybe even the same crab- wandering around the aisles of the store instead of being in its tank.

*shakes head*

Luckily I found both of them before the store was opened so the chances of being stepped on were low.

But still.

I am wondering how many crabs we have wandering around now.

As the first morning when I returned the first crab to the tank...there were like two others near the top of the tank clinging to the wire. And Head Manager found a crab in one of our fish tanks next to the crab tank that same day.

So like....there could be more than just the 3 runaways scuttling about....

Guess we'll have to see if I encounter any others.

But yah.

Weird that it happened twice in a row. 

Until you next find these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
