Yes I think you should mention to him about adding Ken

Yw! Good luck!

And then there were a few suggestions from me to add to Curlysister's! GB for GotButterflies :) 2. Temperature gauge usually reads 70- 75°f and humidity is 70-80% they are both located in the upper right hand corner of the tank GB: I personally recommend digital gauges if you don't have one. You ca...

Sand should be moistened to sandcastle consistency. IMO, glass lids help the best when it comes to keeping the humidity in. Substrate should be at least 6" or three times the height of your largest crab. Whichever is deeper wins. I have found that the 5:1 ratio of sand to EE helps with the moisture....

They can pretty much eat what you eat, and don't eat much! Check out these links: GB: Make sure you cover all a...

Once you identify the leaves, make sure that they are pesticide and fertilizer free too!!

Unfortunately the zoo med salt water conditioner is NOT a sufficient saltwater supply for hermit crabs. A lot of products marketed for hermit crabs are not safe for them. Hermit crabs actually need marine saltwater, as in making a saltwater fish tank. A lot of us use a product called Instant Ocean. ...

I do offer a wide range of insects, and yes, I am on break You can find insects in the reptile sections of the pet stores as well
