HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I recommend not buying these but instead, but buying other shells with D shaped openings like babylonia shells, as like @purpleperson said these are thin and thin shells and clumsy crabs don't go well together :lol: as if they fall they might crack the shell. Can I ask what shape opening you would ...

You know I'm pretty sure that it did come out of a bag of walmart shells, in the batch I know that two more came but they were just as you described very thin and had holes. The specimen that my crab is in has no holes and is about three to four times as thick as the other two from the batch. And th...

Can anyone tell me the name of this shell that one of my new E's moved into, I want to try to get more for his sibling so maybe it will dump it's stupid painted shell too. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/04/3492b209b903b63f2e0762cfe5c90711.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/04/c2c77bbd6df...

My hermit that has been molting for a month and a half popped back up yesterday, and is looking so beautiful I'll have to get a picture next time I see him

No clue on the timing, but congrats anyways, at least you know you have some happy and healthy crabs.

I can't see your pictures personally... Are the mites white or clear?

Edit- I can see them now, and I'm not sure let me grab you the mite post link

I used it for a couple days before I read wodes comment, it wouldn't have worked even if I decided to keep it. Those rocks are just like seashells, and once completely saturated water just seeps through it slowly over time. I thought the crabs were crazy thirsty but really it was just the rock leaki...

You think so wode? they have both molted with me at least once if not twice each, I think the pictures are just being deceiving, they both have just teeny tiny bodies. But that being said they are both by far in larger shells for their size than any of my other crabs, and to be honest I have not see...

The whole green turbo crew ventured out from the moss/maple leaf pit at the same time for peanut butter/green apples/and spun honey http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/24/ddbb199b696f6e6594a16073dd65a9c8.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/24/00fcdcb4e6eff8e00b3a3a61a8e6cf18.jpg Hagrid http://...

And here is the little one that I got at the same time as the white shelled one, it may have taken a little longer but she is all adjusted and happily becoming a member of the crab pile. She is still a little shy but she has regrown her little pincher that was dropped or ripped off at the pet store....

So here is the little white shelled one today in the main tank molted and welcomed by the crabby family, she seems to be taking a liking to the king of the tank hagrid, seems to be the only one sassy enough to put him in his place lol http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/23/36504ac0236a0f7bd01f7b6e6...

Crabs are nocturnal for one thing and many crabbers commonly complain about their crabs doing nothing at all during the day. The other things to consider would be, conditions of the tat, diet of the crabs, and is there anything fun for the crabs to do of course. Make sure your temps are 75+ and 80%+...
