So I've been lurking on this site for a while. I got my one hermit crab about a year ago, his name is Claws and he's about a medium-large. Claws was in a 10 gallon for a while but then he spent a while molting so I delayed upgrading everything. He finally finished his molt about two weeks ago so last week I got a 20 gallon tank at petco with the dollar a gallon sale as well as a friend, whose name is coconut, also medium-large. I'm just ordered some turbos from Naples so I'd love to post some pictures when I get them as well as of the crabs and tank. How would I add pictures? The tank has slowly come together. Just wanted to say hi.

Welcome, Sycamore, Claws and Coconut! Adding pictures is easiest if you store your pics on a server like Photobucket, Imgur, etc. On Photobucket, just select the desired photo, click on "Share" and then on "Direct" on the next page. Once the bar goes yellow and indicates "copied", click on the IMG icon above your HCA post and insert the copied photo between the two IMG boxes ([img]insert%20your%20picture%20here[/img]). When you've done that, you'll see the url for the picture but, after clicking Submit for the post, the screen will refresh and show the actual picture. If this doesn't make sense, go to the Forum page, scroll down to General Topics and click on Pictures. Right at the top is a guide on how to add pics.

I downloaded tapatalk and get on the forum thru it, and it's very very simple to upload pics that way, just a click of an icon
