He looks to me like he is missing two legs. Sometimes their color will darken a few weeks after they come up :) Congrats on the big pincher growing back little Kermie! :) He is :( I realized that after I posted. I was so focused on the one side that I didn't even notice the other. Im pretty sure he...

Not too long ago, Kermie lost his big pincher and one of his legs in a fight. He went down to molt a month ago and came up tonight with a brand new pincher - but no new leg. The pincher looks good, it’s just not as sharp as it could be. He also came up completely brown....is that a concern for a PP?...

Where did those little ladders come from!?

The boys (yep - I somehow managed to have all males) just got an upgrade to a 36G...just wanted to share some pics. Sorry for the potato quality - the humidity in the tank doesn't lend itself to decent pictures :innocent: Immediately two of five dug under. Kermie, who lost a leg and a big pincher in...

Hi everyone.... My hermies are having a bit of a complicated few weeks, so please bear with me with my explanation. A few weeks ago, my 29G randomly flooded (cause still undetermined), and developed a pretty substantial bacterial bloom. During my excavation/cleaning of the 29G outside, the glass sha...

Oh lawd that's beautiful!

It has gotten to the point that my fiance has replaced my middle name with "hermie" when he yells at me with my full name :lol: :hlol: after I tell someone how many I have (which isn't alot compared to alot of you on here) I explain it's addictive. It is! I've spent the last hour looking for a new ...

I know :( I'm completely puzzled. The only thing I can think of is when I washed the decor about a month back, and maybe that just added to the moisture? But its not like I put everything back in soaking wet. I just bought a house and will be moving in in a couple weeks. The tank I have now is way t...

Nope, no bubblers in the pools, and the lid is only opened for food changes.

I don't mist or add any additional moisture to the tank.

When I set the tank up over a year ago, the sand was sand castle consistency.

I'm going to go ahead and completely redo the tank.

Thanks for the input.

Well....I tried to put all my responses in blue

I have one down and plan to slowly sift through the sand. Here's the template: 1. What kind of substrate is used in your tank and how deep is it? Play sand, about 8 inches 2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and hu...

My general rule of crabbing... You will upgrade, but it will never be enough. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk [emoji23][emoji23] if this isn't the truest thing I've ever read on this forum. I have a little 20 gal, and when I bought my 55 I thought "oh my gosh I'll never fill this huge tank!" A...

Hi Everyone..... I noticed a few weeks ago that my sand was getting extremely moist of out the blue. I woke up one morning to find PUDDLES on the surface. I checked my water bowls - neither are leaking. I even set them out for a bit to see if there was a slow leak somewhere. My humidity has remained...

I love my Es. When they were smaller, they were a light blue/gray. Now that I've had them for over year and many molts later, they are brown and orange and oh so fuzzy.
