Seth the Hermit Crab
Seth is a purple pincher hermit crab, aka a Caribbean hermit crab. He lives in a crabitat with a substrate of coconut fibre and playground sand mixed together. I find this works the best for absorbing water, and not collapsing when crabs dig through it.

I found myself driving to the same beer vendor all the time, and wondered if there was something closer by. Well, it turns out Winnipeg has a whole bunch of little beer stores, and I need your help to map them out!
