HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Well a few weeks back I found a Roach in the cage and it had been a while since i had done a total substrate clean and i knew all of my crabs were up from molting. So I built a false bottom and changed some things around and this is what i ended up with.

Looks nice. I like your shell shop, I'm trying to find some organizers to do it

That looks amazing!

Also roaches are gross, if I find a roach in My house I would set My house on fire!

I found mine all of the plastic in the cage at the dollar general near me

Thanks! Yeah I didn't like the thought of the roach anywhere near my crabs!

seriously My house would be on fire.

Same lol

When my son was an infant, he woke up one morning with a 2 inch long line of red dots that looked like burns across the back of his calf.

They looked like this: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: and was red and swollen with darker red dots

He never cried or anything, and the next day we saw the centipede in his bedroom floor. It was about 5 inches long and dark reddish brown.

Those scare me as much as spiders. So....many....legs....

Ewww centipedes are super icky and ouch!! Same with wood lice BUT ... I love millipedes and Rollie Pollies, the big round black ones. Idk what it is about the flat ones but I don't like them :/ My grandma had a pet millipede named Milly she was so cute and I always played with bugs on my grandparents acres in the country. I've grown a healthy fear of spiders, earwigs, centipedes etc. over the years. And an unhealthy fear of worms, the scariest bug out there in my opinion. I went outside in the rain once and saw a huge worm coming towards me and I freaked, ran inside, slammed the door, cried and screamed and was hopping and pointing begging my mom to go move it agh!!!

I HATE grasshoppers and crickets. A year ago, I used to love them! So I caught a whole overload of them in a plastic bottle with holes and brought them home. I put some that thought was alive in a kritter keeper kind of thing with a whole bunch of leaves. The rest (that I thought were dead) went into my trash can in my room. BAD IDEA. at night time when I was about to sleep, I saw things jumping around my room!! I thought I was seeing things so I went ahead and slept. The grasshoppers and crickets were crawling into my nose, ears, eeew.. I guess I left the lid open? :/ the next morning I opened my eyes and...eye to eye with the biggest grasshopper i caught!! I stood up, screamed and ran into the bathroom all bouncy so the grasshopper gets off.

So yeah.. I hate them. :/

My cats always kill the centipedes in my house, and then
they play with the dead body, they do the same with mice.
