here take a look at this
it depends on what sizes the crabs are

one thing i feel i could always have more is are plants to have and hang all over for the crabs to climb!

i don’t think you need a 60 gallon for how small your crabs are. looking at crab per tank guidelines a 30 gal can hold 8 medium crabs. pumpkincrab wants to put 6 in a 29 gallon. and only 2 are close to being mediums.
correct me if i’m wrong but i think they will be fine for now with 29 gallons

Well I'm pretty sure Sunshine is dead being that she is starting to smell. Thanks for your help. I think she left her shell and couldn't find another one quick enough. Luckily we still have 8 other crabs and they are doing awesome for the past year. as stated, crabs leave their shells when they are...

congratulations!
be sure to read the care guides on this site if you haven’t already! they are filled with tons of amazing information:)

i ordered from CrabbyKateCrabShack once before and my shells came the wrong size (not a huge difference but enough that they were tooo big) and they had big chips in the openings.

SimplySeashellsDecor on Etsy is absolute favorite place to get shells. They are always a great price! She does not have any sizes that you listed, though. i have previously bought shells around 1 3/8 from her which i know is smaller than your asking for. it wouldn’t hurt to ask and see if she will h...

http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=836451#p836451 according to JMTs crabs per tank guidelines you can fit 5 large crabs alone in a 40 gal. so based off of this you are not over capacity. if it were my tank tho i would leave it as is in case i needed to rescue smaller crab or some...

wow it looks amazing!! keep up the great work!!

just be sure the tank conditions are good and he will get used to it over time

Um, one more question I came across: Doesn't a glass lid make it so that the hermit crabs can't breathe? they will be perfectly fine especially when you have the lid open to do things like with food and water (or spraying if you do that) when u have to lid open it will kinda like circulate the air ...

i know right i love crabbycaseys tank! but in my opinion i think greenery is the secret to making a tank i personally love the natural aspects of crabitats so my favorite things/ my must haves are lots of greenery, some wood (i found some woods mold more easily than others), and some climbing nets (...

I'm thinking about upgrading from a 20 gallon long to a 55 gallon for my two purple pinchers (planning on getting more once i get a upgrade) i dont know how many more i should be able to get and for them to fit comfortable in a 55 gallon. Also i dont really know where i could buy a tank and lid tha...

congratulations to you and congratulations to truffle for a lovely new home!! so happy to this work out

Moss pit could def help, but I also noticed you said you have 3/4 of top covered with plastic wrap and have a heat lamp...I’m assuming that’s why you have 1/4 left open. Having that open part and a heat lamp could easily be the reason you’re losing humidity. Maybe consider fully wrapping it in plas...
