HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Chowder was one of our first two, he was actually "won" at the carnival on June 10th. He went under within a few days. He was moved a few times(I know better now!!) but he must be a strong one cuz he came back up last night!! Over 40 days & against all odds!! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/27/...

My cool side is @75 &83% humidity, my warm side is @83&92% humidity, so if I keep them on the cool side would that be ok? I definitely don't have a humidity problem[emoji6]

I noticed a lot of you have air stones in your pools, just wondering what the pros are in having them & what kind or brand you use? I don't think mine have even been in the SW pool I made, would the bubbles help them? The FW dish I have seen them at & using... http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/21...

Thank-you, this is just as stressful as when we got our bearded dragon! I also had a bit of a problem w/ my temps, wasn't getting past 74 during the day, since it's a much larger area. Was using a 40watt daytime bulb & 25 moonlight bulb both from exo terra. Went and got a 60 watt daytime & 40 watt m...

I recently revamped my crabitat, I noticed last night that they aren't really climbing, and haven't found there new "shell shop" here's a pic, the shell shop is on the left 2 corner shelves. I'm wondering if I went overboard. They haven't been to the moss pit either[emoji53] I was so excited to watc...

Thank you [emoji4] if it wasn't for this site, I would be lost! Still have so much to learn. Hoping they will be climbing like crazy now. For some reason my two bigger guys pick the biggest, heaviest, bulkiest shells. I got some green turbos from Joann's today, none are big enough for the 2. Pretty ...

Is the coated wire shelf organizers safe to use? Would probably weave in coco fiber..

I have on hand some plastic mesh, and a huge roll of sisal rope. I need levels. Should I take out the "rock wall" on top? Not sure if it's safe?

To my husbands dismay I took the advice from some of you & got a 40 gallon breeder, and topped it with my exo terra. Started at noon & done by 6! I now realize I have so much space to play with, and I'm overwhelmed! I need cheap, DIY ideas to fill it up..help http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/14/...

Breaking out the bottom glass is kinda scary, how do you attach the two tanks? Or do you count on weight to hold in place? Sorry for the ?'s, you got my brain going....hubby will not be happy!! People have had success with just flipping the exo terra upside down? Having a hard time finding info[emoj...

That's a great idea, my hubby has put the "foot" down on me spending any more money for a while[emoji6] between our beardie & these guys....don't even want to add it up[emoji53] I believe in spoiling all our animals, dog & cat included!
