It looks awfully small to me and it's not glass either.

Moved to product reviews because you are asking about a product.

It just looks like another way to sell hermit crab coves. :( And its $42.40! :shock: A bigger tank and supplies are less money.

It is way too small...this product is as bad as the Hermit Crab Cove! The thing that gets me is the price...you could buy a decent glass aquarium set-up for less than that thing.

That is like keeping hermits in a tupperware container! Too tiny!

:shock: Akkkkkkkkkk!!!!! Just think of all the poor hermies stuck in one of those around the world......I swear, I wish companies would actually study up on a creature before they try to make a home for it! Now that's an idea..... [smilie=banghead.gif] Ugh!

Glass tanks and a nice eco-bedding/sand setup is way cheaper and bigger too! Plus substrate looks way too shallow. And you can get some cool climbing plants that go onto side of glass tank with suction cups for less than $7 each.

Most of my experiences with products that say "for your tree hermit crab" usually were not that great. Most of the stuff I buy that gives them proper tank conditions is for reptiles (EE, UTH,etc.) except for a couple things (sponges, shells, etc.).

I hate to see that kind of stuff. It gets me all worked up. When my husband gets home he will have to hear all about it because I can't post half of the words I want to say. [smilie=soapbox.gif] :pain10:
