HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yeah I have the clips for 29 gallons and under .. I just don't know how to bend it to get it to fit

The screen clips I bought dont fit. But I thought creatively yesterday. I had extra suction cup hooks place some on outside and attatched some thick string to that over the lid. Seems to be doing good job so far.

Yeah I'm worried about crabs escaping .. they like to crawl on the screen lid . My older crab tries to lift the lid.

I haven't posted for a while .. but recently I was forced to downgrade to a 10 gallon.. I plan on having this temporary until I can get a clear bin big enough.. anyways , I'm stumped at how to secure the screen lid.. I can't seem to get the clips to stay attached ..I have one crab up right now. The ...

I think for carpenter ants, depending on how bad the infestation is, you may have to seek professional help. My mom's house has them really bad right now, like you can see piles of wood shavings in the windowsills and bottom of baseboards and it isn't termites but when it rains a lot the ants start...

Having a hard time with the template .. Anyways I have a 20 long . Wire mesh lid covered with Saran wrap, a small uth and light bulbs as heat sources, I've got three purple pinchers total. Hermy is golfball size and tiger being half his size and Camo being half the size of tiger . I've got several h...

Hermy has lifted Camo out of the way.. And recently broke off part of camo's small pincher. I have had Camo about two months now.. I know I can isolate camo no problem just a matter of making sure the ISO tank matches heat and humidty ..

That's what I planned on using the Eco earth

So for as long as I have had Camo my smallest he hasn't molted at all he's in need of a good molt. I think he's been trying to but Hermy , my biggest, has been bullying him lately.. What should I do?

I have to be careful when I touch moss .. Handling it caused breathing issues in the past and I don't want a repeat.. Perhaps my husband can do the moss placing for me ..

Hi guys , I'm looking at adopting a crab . I just need to know how to prepare the travel container for the guy as I would be getting him from San antonio which is about 8 hours away from me. I am thinking a tote with some moist substrate will be okay.

I've just noticed them this week .. They haven't gotten into crabitat yet but we have to let management know and they'll have someone come spray professionally. I took a pic to show the big guy and management .. Some are huge others small..

I've spotted ants in the bathroom. I'm worried they'll find the crabitat.. They look like carpenter ants. I don't really know how to prevent them .

Well, the only crab who has yet to molt is Camo. He looks like he really needs it but I'm guessing he will know when he's ready. I'm also debating really hard on adding a 4th crab. Hermy and tiger hang together and Camo is the loner .

I use a mix of both . And I keep my temp at around 80 for day and around 78 for night . Humidity is usually around 75% but sometimes fluctuates but usually never low.
