Looking for hermit crabs- Website?

I recall reading on here at one point that there was a reputable website that sold hermit crabs online. I can't recall the name, and I was wondering if anyone knew off-hand what I'm talking about?

Hermit Crab Patch was the only one, but they stopped selling hermit crabs last year.

Unless your talking about livehermitcrabs.com... Which they are anything but reputable.

I have used
www.reptilecity.com and have nothing but praise for them.

It's good that Reptile City has a good track record with hermits, but I would encourage anyone who is thinking of ordering from them to research into the company a bit more. They have a less than stellar reputation when it comes to reptiles.

I see posts on many different boards of people receiving extremely and obviously ill animals, and of ones that die in transit, and this is something that has been happening for years.

Thanks, guys! I had thought Hermit Crab Patch rang a bell, but when I looked, I didn't see any for sale. Unless I can find local adoptions (unlikely in my tiny neck of the woods, and with no vehicle), I guess I'll have to get them the old-fashioned way.
