Just got my first order from Hermies Kitchen and omg I'm so excited!!!! It's so fresh and looks like they will love it! It's a sample so I can check out a lot of flavors and see which ones they love but even so, it's A LOT of food! Very happy! Thank you to everyone who suggested them! http://uploads...

Noway that would fit in a 20g lol. There was a smaller one I believe though. It just barely fits in my 55g with about 10" or so of substrate. Yea I saw the smaller one so was going to go see how big it was or if I could find one similar :-) I have one side of the tank that has the deep sand and the...

. Are any of his legs bent? Any idea why he molted so shallowly and came up so soon?[/quote] They don't look bent but very well could be... As far as why he molted on top I have no idea...wish I did. We have had him and Geoffrey for a year and this is our first molt with both of them. The conditions...

Went to get a thermometer from the pet store and omg saw this beautiful crab! He was obvi to big for his shell but I couldn't get over how he had these big features! I wanted to get him but didn't cause I gotta get my crabs in check first ( hahaha lol that didn't sound good! Y'all know what I mean [...

I moved the tank to the living room and got a thermometer and the temp/humidity are perfect. I just checked on uno and he was by his water dish. I have a half grape, fresh cherry slice, crushed almond, egg shells and a drop of honey. So hopefully he will indulge in a good meal tonight...we shall see...

I'm waiting on my sample order...can't wait!

For humidity have you tried adding bubblers to the pools? Moss pits? Have you tested your hygrometer ? not sure how to test the humidity one though... The link I posted above takes you to the article explaining how to test it. thanks for the link and I'll def be sure to check it Sent from my iPhone...

He's still reshelled in the one he chose and I left him by his heat pad where I found him...tank humidity is between 70-80 right now
