So we dont know...

NOT A CHERRY TREE...FRUIT TREE. A cherry BLOSSOM TREE. YOu know, the kind that blooms in spring that is all over the Washington DC area right now. The cherry blossom parade...

CAn the crabs eat the Cherry Blossoms that are blooming right now. I want to know so I can save some for later. Can they have the branches also because I can make ladders and bridges out of the branches? Leaves also? Thank you. Im not asking about the fruit cherry tree. I am asking about the Cherry ...

Sometimes after a quick boil or just receiving a dull looking shell, you can get some clean and shiny again. I got the idea today after buffing my nails, so i tried it on a shell and it worked on the turbo. I started with a coarse grit file and lightly ruffed it up. I then took it down to another fi...

Ok, will do!

MANASSAS, VA Hello! I have been crabbing from when I was a teenager in "87". I have had them off & on most my life. I currently have a 55 for my Jumbos that I adopted years ago. I now also have a 40 breeder, 30 and a 20 long on stand by if needed. I have several 10 & 5's as iso tanks. I have a tota...

False bottom, got it! Tnx

No its the purple black color kind, some reds. ThEy taste great though!

OK. Thanks I will keep that in mind and pay close attention. The one I'm making won't be that large and less then a gallon of water, by far...whatever leaks out will just get soaked up by the top soil I'm sure. I will watch the water color and smell and taste for. Copper.

Hey. What you described is what I'm doing yes. Concrete is OK, that's great.

Anyone have any pics of past products? What I get time I will find some pics to show what I've got in mind.

Yes I'm wanting a slow cascading effect!

Has anyone made one? With pictures? I've noticed a lot of pictures are no longer up on the older forums, and some newer. Anyway, I am thinking of building one. I have already got the small pump and other odds & ends. I've got bamboo, tons of shells and river rocks. Now for the general ideas and set ...

Hi everyone, just wanted to give a quick update on the state of the adoption as I've been getting a lot of messages. I have found someone who I'm meeting with to discuss the adoption and I believe they will end up taking the crabs. I'm sorry to those who were interested because I'm sure you are all...

What about a passionflower vine? Passiflora is toxic. How about pothos or lipstick vine (aeschynanthus radicans)? Both do well in a warm, humid environment. My question is, how will you grow plants in a hermit crab medium? I'm wondering if plants deemed safe for omnivorous reps also work for hermit...

OK, thank you! Well I mixed all the peppers together, so I guess it would come down to what's left.

ANOTHER QUESTION...I'm not seeing it on either list...what about peppers? Green, yellow, and red sweet peppers? I would think yes, as for the colors alone! Also hot ones, mild like local farm grown, jalapeño & red pepper, there not hot, but a touch of spice.?.?. Thanks
