HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Here is my current tat:





It looks better in person...

Poopy:

Minifloyd:

Kong (eating a plastic plant)


Indos:




Pontoon


Goose:







Godzilla:






Gangsta (eating a fake plant)




Floyd:



Coral:





Cat:



Big momma (the crab who hatched her eggs)




And the swan:

The swan photo would have been a million times better (and more of them) if I hadn't broken my telephoto lens a few weeks ago. There were two swans and they were splashing around like crazy and the lighting was just amazing. Really bummed out.

Ahhhh! There are just too many cute pictures here. I love the one with the caption "Troublemakers". It's just too cute.

Your hermies are truly beautiful. You can tell they have a fantastic caretaker!

~currently in the process of watching the videos now, but couldn't wait to comment

This picture melts my heart, too.

Wow. I always look forward to your pictures and am never disappointed. I have never before seen a PP who looked like Floyd, he looks like cold, old steel, beautiful.

They are all so adorable/beautiful. Your videos were very entertaining aswell! =D

Wow this is great. I have my last hermit named Kong!! I also thought the troublemakers photo was funny, as well as the comparison shot with Godzilla and friend! Your hermits are in heaven!

Your hermit habitat is amazing, gorgeous crabs, and great quality pictures. If this site did a hermit crab calender, I'd expect to see pictures of yours in it. I wish I was any good at "interior decorating" pet habitats.

Thanks very much.

Looooved all the photos! I was so excited when I saw your title "62 hermit crab photos"! They are so gorgeous and cute! Thanks for taking the time to post! I know it can take a while with that many

You named one POOPY???

Ahhh...Ok. That's a good way to name a hermit crab

Thanks!!
