HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hi Guys,

Thanks to wodesorel's coordination I just picked up one new crab in need - he's a big bigger than my current others.





The picture with the 2 other crabs are from another member who needed to re-home his 2 crabs... they're definitely buddies and don't leave each other for very long.

I have 2 other sets of crabs who I picked up from people on craigslist - one pair is up and well, the other has been
down for about a month now since I got them. I'm assuming they haven't molted for a long time but I just hope they're ok.

So that brings my total up to 7 crabs from 4 different people.

I also recently acquired springtails which I just populated my 2 tanks with.

(I also got a humidifier which seems to let out a lot of mist - the whole tank becomes foggy white, so I've been just turning it on for a bit in the morning and evening; the humidity stays in the 80's-90's deepening on when the device was on). Any suggestions or comments on these kinds of things?

Anyways, thanks for checking this post out!

Congrats on the adoption -- looks like a nice, healthy crab! I love to see PPs opting for something other than a turbo shell .

Congrats on the adoption! What a cutie!

Shorter bursts from the humidifier might help. You can also set up a fan to move the air and/or vent some of the excess (depending on how you set it up.)

Thanks guys!

And thanks for the tip, I never thought about a fan.
