it really depends on the tank conditions. If they are really good, then I dont think they would do it again,

Surface molts can be tough. It usually means something isnt quite right in the tank, but sometimes its just a weird thing that happens. I have one that just surface molted two days ago, and everything in the tank it fine, and hasnt changed really since I got them lol and nobody can figure out why he...

Surface molts can be really stressful on them, and it depends on how big he is. If the exo is all off (it should be, it really only takes them like an hour), then it usually takes about 10 days for their new exo to harden and by then they could be ready. Has he eaten allof his exo yet? If its been 3...

I have a 40 breeder and I have the whole back covered. The one you bought might be too long, because the gallon size determines how large they are. If it fits, I would try just leaving it on and see how hot it gets. I have two on the back of my tank, and I usually only have to use the bigger one bec...

I would leave him until you smell a definite death smell, because it takes them at least 10 days to harden their exo, and by moving him if he is alive, it will stress him out and could cause death.

Usually until the edges begin to turn a golden brown color, kind of like making cookies for yourself

So yesterday I contacted a lady on Craigslist about some hermit crabs that she was selling with their 10 gallon tank and all supplies for 50 bucks. Since I dont need the supplies, I asked her about just adopting out the crabs. To my surprise, she said yes and we agreed on a place to meet. She had 3 ...

Possible adoption today guys! I found 2 hermies on craigslist with tank and supplies for $50 but I asked her if she would consider adopting out just the crabs and to my surprise, she said yes! I just have to wait and talk to my grandparents to see if they can drive me half way to meet her! Im so exc...

So I planted some chia seeds today, and upgraded a few things in the tank! So excited! I dont know how to post pictures, but heres what I did: I bought a shower caddy that hangs off the side and bought some moss and soaked it then put it in the shower caddy. I bought a plastic container that has two...

Awesome thank you!

I tried isopods when I first started crabbing and they breed like crazy! I probably wouldnt try them again, just because they got so out of hand last time
Thanks for your help!

What kind of seeds, besides Chia seeds, can I plant in my crab tank? I wanted to try some easy things first, but I wasnt too sure what was safe plant wise.
Thanks!
