HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi Everyone,

I recently acquired 4 PP's from a lady who didn't want them. She included a 20 gallon long with them. I attached a pic of one of the crab's shells - it's so stupid, I hope they all change soon - 2 have already. I'm letting them settle before I take too many pictures; they're pretty cautious right now.

I am almost finished with the new crabitat and will share pics very soon. It actually turned out pretty cool.

I haven't had crabs for nearly 10 years, I used to be an active member on here when I was in elementary and middle school. Now I'm all grown up in my own home and found myself with crabs again after not having any pets for a looongg time.

Anyways, hope to get to know you guys! I'm sure I'll be a really active community member.

I swear painted shells will be the death of me! I do however love your water bowl statue- is it a waterfall or bubbler? Or just decoration?

Congrats on the adoption! I too had taken a 10 year break from hermit crabs (I got divorced and after that moved around a lot). Welcome back! Looking forward to getting to know you and your crabs!

Thanks guys!

It's actually just a decoration. When I upgrade to a larger tank I want to create some sort of filtered pool though - seen lots of cool pools on here

I'm actually not even sure what that shell is supposed to be... I think it's a bumblebee on a tree or leaf though. haha!

Thanks landlubber!, funny how crabbers will remain crabbers!

It's a ladybug on a leaf.

Yeah... have seen so many badly painted shells I can usually ID at a distance.

Congrats on finding your way back to crabbing! I love that you chose to adopt for your firsts.

Welcome Goofball2k16. How cool that you chose hermies after not having pets for a long time. Good luck on the shell changes. -Jessica
