HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hello all! I live in a town that doesn't have much access to a variety of hermit species. It's pretty much Petco for anything, and they only have PPs.

I have 5 PPs, and would love to add an E to the mix. I just don't know where to find one!

I was wondering if anyone had any info on a quality website to order one? Or any other ideas for me to look into.

Also, I have a 20 gallon with my 5 PPs, would adding only one E be a bad idea? Will it long for a friend that's also an E, or will he be just fine with my guys?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Depending on where you are there may be other options you are not yet aware of. Where are you located?

I live in Rio Rancho, NM

Eh just kinda luck of the draw, sometimes petcos and petsmarts will have e's just by chance, but usually PP's also check your smaller reptile and pet stores, i've had great luck with those too.

worst case scenario i'm sure you can find a place online to get em, or maybe even have someone send one to ya.

My 2 girls are from a family owned store. A lot of smaller chains will special order or in some cases just buy them normally.
