HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Wow! The blue and yellow ones are beautiful! What do you feed your crabs that could be contributing to their blue color? I have a PP that is now my biggest, her entire body is a deep dark purple. Here she is: http://s23.photobucket.com/user/Doom_Song/media/monstereyesbest.jpg.html?sort=3&o=7 Will sh...

Wow..those blue E's are amazing. Here is a clearer picture of her. We named her Vesper. http://s23.photobucket.com/user/Doom_So ... sort=3&o=0

Her blue is no where near the blue of those E's sugar posted. Thanks for letter me know! She looks like she might end up gray then?

The E I got yesterday is blue. Here is a picture, I don't have a better quality one up yet: http://s23.photobucket.com/user/Doom_Song/media/blue.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/Doom_Song/media/blue.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0&_suid=136777077320603949549990308499 Her legs are tinted an odd shade of blue and there ...

Well, they are a little more affordable at the petstore. Actually, they have a ruin-like looking bridge right now that was about 10 bucks. The small one they have (It was the one I got when I only had Salazar, but her big butt has gotten too big for any one else but her to fit under it) was maybe 5 ...

I'd like a huge glass tank, with two decent sized crab sized pools in it for fresh and salt water. I'd want fake plants in it, like those mini trees for climbing. Some of these Greek Ancient Ruin hideaways that I've had my eye on for like, months. And a long length food dish, maybe 4 or 5 inches lon...

Omg, sugarselections! They are all beautiful! That pink Indo is just gorgeous!

Yeah, I wasn't considering getting any until after I graduated and we got our apartment in December. Sounds like they are a huge undertaking, flutinkat! I might just stick with PPs and E's, LOL. Maybe a couple years down the road when I can be 100% certain I'd have the means to take on caring for an...

Yeah, if they get pretty big, I'll totally wait till I have our apartment and a bigger set up. Salazar is strolling her way to getting big, but I think she has awhile before she gets really big.

How quickly do they grow? Like if you get a tiny one, how quickly do they get big?

LHC is where I think I saw them, actually. They are so gorgeous! They look like they get big though. I'll have to ask Lauren how she likes having them! I think I'd be too scared to branch off into more exotic species right now, but I've had a thought in the back of my head about getting a Viola or n...

Yeah, that's what I meant, lol. Are they rare? I haven't seen them mentioned much around here.

I was just browsing hermit crabs online and came across a site selling hermit crabs. They had Pink Indigo crabs. I'd never heard of these before. Does anyone here have them and are they rare? The crab in the picture looked gorgeous and it made me curious.

Well..I'm new but here is my picture contribution!I don't know if they are good enough though, most were taken with my phone. :/ http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b376/Doom_Song/victorbed.jpg Victor Ecuadorian. I don't know why he refuses to change out of that shell. It has those holes in it! Someti...

Btw Theodora, I send you a private message!Well, with Victor being a different breed and the others being so much smaller then Salazar...I don't think I have to worry about any such nonsense from them, lol.

I don't feel like I have to worry about her and Victor. They aren't the same type of crab...and she barely tolerates the poor guy to begin with, lol.
