HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Is it on a stand?

I've heard bad things about the Zilla ones you posted. Not a good company in general. I recommend using one of these Vivarium thermostats: http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermostats Particularly: http://www.reptilebasics.com/thermostats-ready-to-use/vivarium-electronics-ve-200d/ It is a dimming one ra...

My order came in today! That was fast! I can't thank you enough and wish you well with the rest of your endeavors. It's too bad I just found out about your store!

It's bigger than he is hehe! So cute!

When my boyfriend holds his favorite crab, they do this weird thing where he holds out his finger and they like rub fingers/antennas. It is so weird haha! I should take a video too!

Are you guys installing inside or outside the tank? I've been wanting to do this, but haven't really done any research yet. Let me know how they work out!

Honestly, it's not the crabs so much as me. I spill water all down the glass, and it gets a little mildewy from the humidity, and if I run the humidifier there is a white dust that sticks to the glass. The crabs just toss some substrate up high and make ditches. That's peanuts in comparison. ;) Har...

I'm actually really glad this came up lol! I almost put two tanks inside my tank for pools and didn't even consider this!!!
So thanks for your accident hehe!

I loveeee indos!!! So pretty!

Are they glass panes siliconed in or small aquariums placed in the tank? If they are aquariums, be sure to level the tank so that the structural integrity of the pools can be maximized. Could cause a leaking issue as well!

Thanks! I'm going to do my best! First time here, but I am getting a lot of advice about using a Kreisel tank from a friend who breeds clown fish, so hopefully even if it doesn't work out this time, I can learn and plan for the future.

Oh no!!! Pools? Like with glass? I hope everything works out!

I woke up super early this morning, 5:00AM, to finish up some homework that I didn't get to the night before. The crabs usually get their light turned on around 7:00-7:30AM. So as I was sitting on my couch in the dark, working on my laptop, I heard a lot of "talking" going on in the dark tank. I jus...

It seems like everyone has covered any advice I'm able to offer here hehe! Great members on this forum! I just wanted to pop in and wish you the best of luck with your new crabbies. You've come to the right place and you're doing a great job at being proactive to give your crabs the best care they c...

I've been running a humidifier in my 55 gallon tank since around September. I went with the Crane drop humidifier (about $40 on Amazon) and run a hose from it to the tank, through a cut out corner of the screen lid. When I set up my 40 gallon, I got a 2nd humidifier and did the same thing. Both tan...
