I guess my crabs names aren't super exotic, I named the smaller one Speedy because the shell looked like a helmet and the bigger one Hulk cuz he was the biggest. lol. Also, do your crabs love to climb EVERYWHERE? Mine both are frequently climbing on the wall. Idk seems normal but I'm wondering if it happens your crabs.
Only thing Im afraid of is them drowning in the tupperware xD.
Actually I think my crababies are afraid of heights, they always stay on the ground lol. I was afraid they would down too, I stood there and watched in case I needed to play lifeguard, but after a few minutes they came out. Thanks on the names, my daughter named her two Athena & Persephone(Aphrodite was killed by Athena), then my other daughter named hers Gary(who is more tiffy as she is a girl) and penny. My two are Dixon(walking dead) and bellatrix(Harry potter)

Wow, alot of crabs at your house! I might see about getting a small community if I move or get more space for a new tank. Plastic wrap seems to be really helping humidity, overnight it only dropped a couple percent (light off). Now soon I will get more coconut fiber and sand!

Just curious, why do many many guides say to keep freshly molted crabs in an iso tank? If they're gonna get attacked, wouldn't hermits be really rare since they would get attacked all the time?

Tiffy lives at my daughter's father's house with her(she is there half the time) Athena is molting in a tank by herself and the other 4 are in a 20t in my room.
