I also wanted to use one of their terrariums for a crabitat. But, substrate wise, the tank is no good. The lip under the door does not reach 6 inches. I was wary of the lip and emailed them to see if any of their terrariums' lips reached a height of 6 inches, they didn't have one that did. You said...

No really, it’s fine. Thank you all for the constructive criticism, I really do appreciate it. I do understand that my crab is a bit large for the enclosure, but I will try my very best to make this work for him. I think I can make a unique crabitat that may not meet all the recommendations of this ...

I am concerned about the tank size with that large of a crab. We don't recommend jumbos in anything under a 48x18 inch tank so they have space to move, and they also need 12 inches of substrate to molt safely. I have an 18x18 base terrarium for my gecko and I personally would not keep crabs in that...

The Exo-Terra tanks are very expensive. I’m aware things will be tight haha! I’m counting on the vertical space to give them room to walk around. Currently the 10 gallon I have has enough room for my crabs to walk around, but no room for deep substrate or vertical climbing. I really think this will ...

Hello Everyone! Recently I got tired of the awful, cramped, boring, and overall bad conditions of my current tank. It’s a measly 10 gallon, the same I bought two years ago! (I know, I know.) Fortunately it’s time for an upgrade. I’m going to begin building a new crabitat for my two wonderful crabs. ...

Maybe he was logging onto the internet and he has old school dial up. Then the tapping at the end was him typing: "The human person who lives in this big tank outside mu house is supposed to be sleeping but she is on this bright square poking it with her thumbs.... uh oh, she hears me!

Could the hermit crabs be interconnected through a system of paths designed to connect every crab to the global crab network designed to plan the takeover of all other races? Could the hermit crabs be planning our very demise? Could they be talking about how stupid we look? #crabbyconspiracy Sent fr...

I wonder why hermit crabs chirp...they seem to be unresponsive to sound. Maybe it could be some sort of sense? Maybe hermit crabs can hear and it's a mating call of some sort. Such amazing creatures

Mine was just making this sound! I've heard her chirp before but never make this sound. wonder what it is??? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk I am also very curious about this sound... there is so much we don't know about hermit crabs! Is this sound different from chirping? I've never h...

Was sleeping (really on my phone) and then I heard this noise from my crab enclosure. It's a very interesting sound and only carries on for a few seconds. I did take my phone out to begin recording! What do you think of this sound? Have any of you heard it before?

Mygann on Amazon has large and beautiful shells! Give it a try

No...I'm going to take care of them. They depend on me. I just need to get over this...I really do love this hobby.

Hopefully when I put them back in a bigger tank it'll make me feel better. I'm going to start over
