Hello! I'm new to hermit crabs

[SanguineCane]

I've been doing a lot of research about hermit crabs lately and I've decided to set up a habitat! I came to this forum because I'd prefer to adopt rather than buy from a local pet chain when I'm ready.

I've purchased a 75 gallon tank that I'm preparing to fix up for up to 5 hermit crabs. The type doesn't matter much to me. I just want to give them the best home that I can.

I don't have experience with hermit crabs which is why I came here. I'm hoping to come here if I ever need advice. When the tank is all set up and I'm able to adopt, I'll post again with pictures! Any beginners advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello! Welcome to the HCA! Please check out our care guides After your have your tank set up, and the specs are right, you can find crabbies under the adoption forum.

I do recommend glass tops and an UTH from www.reptilebasics.com

Thank you! I've been looking for a place to find a glass canopy.

I found mine online. Measure the inside lips of your tank, and then go from there. Believe it or not, Fosters and Smith is a decent place to start I usually try to go for places that offer free shipping Good luck!
