Hello! I'm new to hermit crabs
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

Re: Hello! I'm new to hermit crabs
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!
