I honestly couldn't help you there but instead of straws or violas if you do end up getting an exotics I would recommend indos. They are big , in my opinion they look good and mine have proved to be very hardy

You might want to add some sort of sand before the edgae of the pool so that they don't track coco fibre into the water I have a sexed pair of gecarcoidea lallandi (they didn't find out one was a female before import ) and they are very very messy

Personally agree my old straw tank was close (not next to ) the window and theyd look out at the sun

I have Es indos and PPs in one tank they all seem to get along with the smaller crabs hanging out with each other and the big ones doing the same thing

I'm in the UK and we have pretty strict laws when it comes to animals like we're not legally allowed to ship vertebrates unless it's by courier but the laws on inverts aren't as strict I think there's something out there on bringing inverts in but it can be done

Hi, My son (10 years old) and I are very new to the hermit crab world, so I wanted to introduce ourselves. We got a couple of hermies because he wanted an "exotic" pet, and I wasn't considering a snake, lol. I think I've become more attached to the little guys than my son is. We started with two, b...
