HCA: Hermit Crab Association

We call it bath time but in reality we moisten the tub with salt water creating a small pool and interact with them. Giving them treats and letting them crawl around. I know lots of experts say to leave them be in their cage and we do 97% of the time. (not saying we know better then experts just sta...

Thinking about upgrading to a 60+ gallon bc Dudes are getting big. Thanks for advice.

Oh and I just realized looking back at the pics that No. 2 regrew his missing 2 back legs. I looked at old pics from when we got them and remembered that his name was No. 2 bc of his missing limbs not because he's the second largest! Yeah [VICTORY HAND] for No. 2!!

Okay apparently, according to the hubs and offspring, I have some land snail shells that Stubborn has "played" with but he never stays. One thought is that from what I can see is his shell is so brown and all of mine are tan. I'm researching different types in hopes of losing that ugly painted shell...

I'm hoping to find someone to take my 6 crabs ASAP. *I live in Chesapeake, VA *Can travel to Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk. Other surrounding cities are negotiable. I also travel occasionally to Manassas, VA area and New Bern, NC area. * 6 PPs (I think they are 4 males and 2 females)...

I don't think I have any land snail shells. I'm totally looking into that. Thanks

Thanks for the info!! [THUMBS UP SIGN] I read a lot of the guides back when I first discovered the site in 2014 and it helped a lot. I moved Red to iso in my spare tank after he was bullied. I got so worried [emoji20] Normally they molt in the main tank. You can't see it but I've got over 8 inches o...

For some reason people are having problems seeing these so I'm trying a different way... my crabitat

Cute crew!! I like ur set up in ur tank:) What is the mix in their food dish? Is the one in the painted shell fairly new to the colony? "Good Ole Stubborn" arrived with part of the crew in August of 2012 from Ocean City MD. Although he's molted at least twice he keeps getting back into that same ug...

Five of my six "Dudes" (Don't know the gender) (I've got one molting in the iso tank) Home Sweet Home- Recently Cleaned and thoroughly crab wreaked 20-gallon tank with an iso 10 gallon not shown https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/io5duy6V00pWc1i0WnYO00sImOJiC7VKalAfVPHZ-RBwKp71IV600zGk_oIpI3Ya61ocwEB...

awesome! Thanks for the suggestions! 1 question- When I'm looking at shells they list them as 3" is that the whole shell or the opening? I really don't want to spend $10 plus shipping to have it be too small.

I went ahead and posted my dudes in the picture area!

I'm not even sure how to size them properly and the measurements are confusing. I've had several molts over the years with all six and with at least three from my big boy "Red". Red went from a medium to an extra large shell in 7 years. From what I've measured I've got two PPs with 1 1/4" opening sh...
