HCA: Hermit Crab Association

In my crabitat, I've got a small aquarium air pump attached to some tubing which I feed into my fresh water dish. I've got the end attached to a suction cup, which I place a clean sponge on top. This helps to raise my humidity almost 10%, very cheaply! Watch out for air circulation though! Mold is a...

Thank you for all your help! I'm still debating on if I should use Titebond or Silicone to do the backdrop. What does the silicone dry like? I want whatever I use to dry hard and such. I'm not planning on installing any waterfalls or bathing areas with the backdrop, so I won't have to worry about th...

Mm. I'm going to try soaking the mopani wood in salt water again, then rebake. I'll add the fresh log to the new terrarium and keep an eye on it. Bleach makes me nervous! I don't want to try anything that I know might possibly harm my hermits. I recently bought 128lb of sand. I'm actually excited to...

Hermit crabs are pretty hardy as long as temperature and humidity is right! Thank you for the article!

I think once the mold gets a foothold inside of a tank it's impossible to get rid of short of tossing everything and bleaching the actual tank. (Boiling and bleaching will not get rid of mold on porous surfaces like wood and coconut - I tried before!) Ah mold! Destroying all attractive wood in the ...

I’ve been checking out reviews on the Zoomed Repti Fogger, and they all seem to be pretty good! I’ve also checked the prices online and the Zoomed Repti Fogger and the Exo Terra Fogger are very close in price; the ZooMed Fogger being about 10-20 dollars more expensive. (A nice link if anyone wants t...

Perhaps something like this:

Has anyone ever tried these before? If not, what humidifiers/misters are best?

Exactly! I had planned to create a wall display such as thing (However with much less detail, like no real plants). Now that I am reading through this thread, another thing is coming to my mind. Would it be wise of me to invest in a humidifier? I'm currently having problems with mold on my mopani wo...

I had just completed another deep clean in my ten gallon aquarium and almost all of my decor that I had in there is destroyed! I've owned my hermit crabs since September (Three purple pincher's, two 20ish mm claw and one 10ish mm claw) so I do know how destructive they can be. But this time, I've ha...
