HCA: Hermit Crab Association

ive always had eco earth in my tank without any problems, but now i want to have a mix of play sand! to raise humidity and to make my crabby more happy to dig!

i want your opinion! where do you buy your play sand and is there anything i should avoid?

thanks everyone

5 parts of play sand to 1 part eco earth. Mix with either dechlorinated water or salt water til it's sand castle consistency

We get our play sand from Coles hardware or Lowe's

I get my play sand from home depot for 2.80 and Lowes, it's just called play sand and is very common. Only had difficulty finding it at one home depot because apparently someone was building a sandbox and bought it all out lol

Avoid the " hermit crab sand" sold at pet stores.

thank you! i literally just returned a tiny bag of it to the pet store a few days ago ($7!!), because i realized it wasnt good after looking into it. sucks that half of the stuff marketed towards hermits arent that awesome.
