 Hermit Crab Confidential By: Noah Eaton 8/21/05 The sun has set, let’s make whoopee, rub-a-dub-dubbing on the electric beach, head to the shingles if you wanna mingle, make the night tingle, let's all commingle, give it a burl, you lil' understudy, holy dooley, that's pretty spiffy, hey Crabby Dan, flat out like a lizard drinkin', no, then slip on those budgie smugglers for the beach beacons... Rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, there's just some parties that just turn up, some you can't explain, bubble up like soap suds, rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, scamperin' away in this nocturnal regalement invitational, all hermit crab confidential...  The sun has set, let's chirp like a brumby, put on one rip snortin' stridulation symphony, hey, at night we're all just young, restless surfies, come one, come all, you sandgropers, banana benders and yabbys... Rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, there's just some parties that just turn up, some you can't explain, bubble up like soap suds, rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, scamperin' away in this nocturnal regalement invitational, all hermit crab confidential...  Rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, there's just some parties that just turn up, some you can't explain, bubble up like soap suds, rub-a-dub-dub, hermies in the tub, soakin' away in Hubba-Hubba Hub, scamperin' away in this nocturnal regalement invitational, all hermit crab confidential... Hermit crab confidential, (Chirp chirp!) hermit crab confidential, (Chirp chirp!) hermit crab confidential, (Chirp chirp!) ha ha, hermit crab confidential... (That was ripper, little dipper!) No kiddin', shark biscuit!  "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |

 (giggles) Yep, hermit crabs, in fact, do make chirping sounds. You see, they're a type of living thing that does what is called stridulation, and that is sound generated from the brushing of a living things own exoskeleton, and I believe I've heard particularly during molting or when hermit crabs fight, they stridulate. (giggles) Those hermit crabs are lil' cute aliens, aren't they? LOL!  Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

Noah, This was great! I LOVE hermit crabs. I've had the same crab for the past 2 years or so...he's even molted once! I think I've heard him chirp on occasion, too - although it's been a while. Thanks for the fun read! |

Confidentially, I'd make a crabby hermit! lol Mind you, I could chirp with the best of them!  Noah, are hermit crabs edible?!?  Love, Light & Crabs, Linda  |

Noah, you put on a really cute presentation, but those are ugly little things, aren't they? EEEeOoooooooohhhh!! They look squishy. Are they? I like your song, though. Hugs, Ethel |
