what they like? In terms of what? I do nothing special for my Indos except provide them an ECO/Moss dish, that is where they stay period - they are only down to get water/food and rarely that --as far as temps I just do the same as always--now I have straws so the temps/humidity have to be 80/80--
I havent founds any Cavs yet

Mokulele has also Enlightened me in Past Pic Forums Threads that Indos Also like to have Caves and hidey Holes.
Indos generally come from regions where they can hide in rocky outcrops.
I also have Moss Pits. I rarely see them at all during the Day. In Fact I cant recall seeing any of my Indos or PPs during the Day.

Hermit crabs that came from Indonesia.

I think they kinda look like pps from their big claw. But, the indo's big claw is light lavender and SMOOTH, whereas the pps big claw is rigid or bumpy.

Also, go to the right side of the screen, under "hermit crab ID help" click on the "side my side image" link. There are a few pics of them there. Also, go to the photo gallery section of the forums and click on indos to see some nice pics of them.

Mine seems really shy and likes to do a lot of hiding most of the time.

Also, their eyes and eye stalks are circular, whereas the pps is shaped like an oval, or comma (spelling?).
