HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi! My two crabs on the surface are like a soap opera. I have no clue if they are being aggressive and moody towards each other or just dramatic and mating. I keep finding one on top of the other, the bottom one on its back, but hiding. She never gets injured, that I see....and she always goes back ...

I just caught him on top of the other crab, while the other crab was on its back. I wasn't sure if he was harming her, so I said something loudly to break it up. They both got up and walked into the cave together. I'm very stumped by his behavior. It's definitely the same crab. He has distinct marki...

Oh thank you. I didn't realize about the size vs watts. Good to know!

Hi!

:D thank you. I have a 10 gallon right now. I wanted to go get a 20, but one crab is down below. Now I have to wait. I was just about to to grab a third heating pad today to get it above 70F. I don't like the lamp much. I would never just leave it on and walk away. It seems more practical to get mor...

I had the lid off for a while and it dropped, but it was a good 90% all day. The crab hideout is on the hotter, more humid side.

Thanks! I have a zoo med small and an exo terra 8x8. The sand is imaginarium, I believe. Readers are analog, zoomed combo. Humidity is 75% on the plastic wrap side and 70% on the unwrapped side. It seems under control now. I got some moss and sprayed it. It spiked the humidity and lasted. I didn't h...

Hi all! I am new to crabs, and have just brought home 2 little ones on Friday. I got the tank set first to my best ability, but now I'm having struggles over the whole heat and humidity thing. It's agonizing, actually. I had no sleep last night, constantly checking and trying to spray....cover with ...
