HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Currently he is in a ISO tank. I will try working with him the best I can. Hopefully he will pull through.

Yes I have other hermit crabs. And I'm not sure if there was a fight or maybe a bad molt or what. It's pretty sad seeing him trying to come out of his shell and move, but he just cant.

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? -Sand and coconut fiber mixture. 8in or so 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they usually read? -Humidity is usually around 75-78...

Can anyone help me figure out whats going on with this hermit crab. I was doing some maintenance to my tank, and I I was moving some sand around and thought I had found a empty shell. But on closer inspection I saw there was a hermit crab in it. At first I thought it was molting, but then I saw he h...

Yea that all sounds like good ideas. I have a bunch of animals my family will be taking care of while I am away so trying to think of easy stuff for them to do since they already have so much to do.

Honestly it comes down to my family is taking care of all my animals and there is...

Yea I was planning on going there. I have been to that place before, but never to look for shells. So will definitely have to go to both places. Thanks

Thank you so much

The tank I want to put it in is 55 gallons. All of those ideas are great! Will have to run to walmart sometime and get some stuff. Need to do a new moss pit also, the one I have they keep knocking down. So looking to get some type of shower caddy. Also need something to put shells in, because my her...

I am looking to possibly make a second level in my tank, and was wondering what you guys have used to make them in your tanks?

Yea I heard of them, I may go look and see what they have. Thanks Hoping to find some other shell shops also.

Thank you

Some pictures of a couple of my hermit crabs. The rest weren't in picture taking moods xD Hanging out in one of the moss pits. The one with the yellow shell for some reason refuses to leave the painted shell, I rescued him months ago lol. http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l510/glassbugs95/image_zp...
