I just got home for the first time since making this post and noticed she hasn't moved at all not even towards her exo. My humidity is a low of 77° and high of 81° and my temp is always at 73° i know it's low. I haven't been able to buy anything to keep it warmer than that. I put a shirt over the is...

Hermine is finally molting for the first time. I had to add water to the subtrate a few days ago bc it was getting dry and when I came across Hermine I put her back on the top so i wouldn't bury her. Instead of her going back down she decided to shed her Exo on the surface. I put her in iso with her...

Hermine wants nothing more than to climb out of her habitat. She has escaped a few times. Lucky we keep a close eye on her so she doesn't make it far. I finally got her food figured out and she's been a lot more active. She is climbing on everything and testing her boundaries. Every time I put somet...

Shells finally came in put one in front of Hermine that was her size with others and she changed in less than 20 mins. My other crabbie is at the bottom of the tank destressing. Looking for names for when he comes back up. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171027/bcd91a4ceda90445d745d9c1964ee92a.jp...

So I finally was able to get a friend for Hermine the new one does not yet have a name. I was finally able to mix eco earth with sand to make the right subtrate. I got a climbing background but had to take it out until I can fix it because Hermine was stuck behind it tonight. :( Right now I still le...

I didn't take offense I was letting you know why I haven't changed those things and that I have researched a lot

I know they say the pellets are not good for them but that's what she ate before I got her so I thought I'd she was going to eat something it would probably be what she's used to. And I have done my research on the water and food she needs. When she dug herself under I thought she was going to molt ...

I got Hermine over a month ago at the local flee market and knew nothing about proper care. I did a lot of research and got a 10 gal tank with over 6" of eco-earth. There is fresh and salt water. Humidity and Temp and ok. She burried herself right after i got her. I had moved her when she came up ye...

Hermine is molting in a 10 gal right now and if we have to evacuate our plan is to visit family whom are 17 hours away. We don't have room for that big of a tank. Is there anything I can do to take her with me without putting her in danger?

Gave her*
I don't get paid much so it's going to take some time for me to decorate and get everything.

I bought a temp and humidity monitor last night and its at 75% humidity and 73°F still don't have anything to help boost it and I have her part of a banana that she didn't touch. When i woke up I found her under the new monitor

After I found her yesterday I put the subtrate back in and set up. I also added my hut. I had to move her back to the top so I wouldn't bury her but she hasn't dug back down yet. I wanted to go ahead and get another hermit crab when i buy the rest of the stuff I need but I don't know if I should wai...

Thank you for replying. I've researched a lot on the website I've found it very helpful. I live close to the beach so I thought I'd have time to get everything set up since it's still warm here. I got Hermine at a flee market and after seeing how they were taken care of I wish I could have them all....

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? -eco earth 4-6 inches 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? -no 3. Is a heat source used in the tank? If so, what?...
