HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Sebastian changed to one of the new shells last night. I found his old shell exactly where he was last night and the new shell had not moved in fact, I keep all my shells opening up, I assume he dragged himself over to the shell without his old shell on and slide in. This seems really odd to me so I...

Thanks!!

I change my substrate from sand/Coco mix to just Coco fiber and it has helped with my humidity greatly however I noticed that the reptile hammock I have attached along the back wall has white fuss all over the bottom, any ideas what I can do?

Boil to clean them then let them cool before giving to your babies.

Congrats my guy was down for exactly a month and I worried everyday if my substrate was right so I totally get it.

So I decide that I wanted to add to the tank since I haven't seen much of any crabbies lately and I feel like it's because they feel exposed when moving about. I knew that Poseiden had tunneled last night near his humidity​ cave that he loves and I thought that Sebastian could be molting but was pro...

Mine PP's switched into the Babylonians pretty quick. I did pick up one turbo as I had one come up from a molt and stay in his shell, I was pretty sure he needed to change and did so as soon as I gave him the turbo. It's so cool that they have preferred shell types. Sent from my Moto G Play using Ta...

How many do you have in your 20gL Sent from my Moto G Play using Tapatalk 9 - I know that's way too many but I'm setting up a 55g (should be up in a week or so) and plan to keep the 4 smaller ones in the 20gL and move the bigger guys - whenever they come up.

I know!!!! Guess he was in ruff shape before I got him. He also loves food so maybe that's part of the drastic change.

I had a successful first molt back in February. Talk about stressful though. I brought my babies home on January 9th and Augustine (Gus) decide to bury and start molting that day!!! He was down exactly a month I was so worried the whole time!!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170405/218b57f5f3dce...

So much has happened since I got my babies. I've had them almost a month! Sebastian is pretty shy and only comes out at night, he did give me the pleasure of watching him change shells a week after I got him. Poseidon us my little adventure he isn't shy at all, he changed shells the first night to ...
