HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Wow, I love the colors:)
Congrats on the molt!

All three of mine a golf ball sized and they all molted at the same time. One came up at the one month mark, but it's been awhile and they other two haven't come up yet! It makes me so nervous but I'll just hope theyre okay:)

I don't have an iso either- some people say that it's better to have one but I think it's more of a stressor to the poor guy that's being isoed! I do have a spare tank and substrate for emergencies though:)

hermit crabs sometimes like to molt together i guess... mine always are underground at the same time. and now that you have better conditions, im sure that they have been prolonging molts and took this good opportunity to molt:)
nothing to be worried about!:)

Hahahaha I didn't even know that he was in the picture!! It made me laugh that you noticed it!:)

I just bought a bag of oceanic from pet world ( they had four million crabs with low humidity, but other than that it's better than I've seen in awhile) and I can't wait for the crabs to finish molting so I can use it! It's super cheap too. Instant ocean wasn't sold in small packages by me, only mon...

How long do I leave the saltwater in the tank before changing it?

sorry to double- post, but here it is! it looks just like a thing i used to have on an old jungle gym ahaha. i dont think itll work but at least it killed time because i reallly didnt want to do any more homework :) here it is- ignore the rocks i was just making towers hahaha :) http://i1142.photobu...

Thank you, it does help!
And I'll get right to putting a picture up, I have one I just have to upload it haha:)

Thanks! And thanks everyone for the advise! I also have two more questions. I made a super cool climbey out of some old wooden dowels and some twine. I made it a raft at first but it wasn't holding so I just went nuts with the twine, wrapping it and weaving it. I think it looks like fun, but I'm ner...

I will! I have a hunk of petrified wood too, I was thinking about using that, and I'm happy it's safe:)
There used to be the coolest rock store by my old house, we would buy cool rocks aaaall the time. I have an awesome piece of agate but it's dyed pink so I assumed it wouldnt be safe.

I am in the process of setting up my new twenty gallon, and I have a ton of ideas but I don't know if they are safe or not. My aunt owns a gravel pit and I got a ton of nice rocks there to use (cleaned, of course) that I want to attach with silicon to create a rock featurr and the focal point would ...

Oh darn! Guess I'll go buy some silicon then!

I want to buy some of this stuff too, but I was wondering if hot glue is safe in the tank? I wouldn't think it'd be safe with the water dishes, but what about other things in the tank?

Thank you very much! At my local dollar store they sell huge bags of super small shells, I have plans on using those for something. I just picked up the tank yesterday, I can't wait to start decorating it:)
