HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I was able to get pics of 4 of our crew of 5 on a sizing chart, but am having trouble interpreting the results. Anyone able to advise what size shells we need? I'm having a terrible time finding shells light enough for them to want to wear now that they aren't "babies" anymore. PS They do have acces...

Thank you for the advice. He has had his dip in the fw pool and is settling back into the main tank now. Everyone has plenty of shells, food and water in a couple extra places to help ease the transition. Appreciate the group emergency hotline saving the day for my little guy! Sent from my SM-N950U ...

The KK ...

1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? 50/50 EE/play sand, 12-14 inches 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they usually read? Two AcuRite gauges: one at mid-tank, mid le...
