HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I always seem to go way too long between posting pictures of my crabs here. I have a ton of newer photos, so I'm just going to post some of my favorites.

Awesome pictures! Where do you get you exotics?

I wish I could move into the tank with them! Lol

Some of the exotics I've had for a very long time and others are more recent additions. I've gotten them from Hermit Crab Vendor, Live Hermit Crabs, Exotic Land Hermit Crabs, adoptions, and local chain stores.

Agahahajaaj*keysmash* your crabs are so beautiful!

Your violas are gorgeous, I don't know what it is. Those shells with that purple love them!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

Love the "Parent Trap" pic -- just like looking in a mirror ! The Aussies are simply beautiful, the best pics I've ever seen of the species. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness! Those beautiful babies! I wanna just shrink down to crab size and cuddle all of them so much!

Hopefully I'll have more pictures to post of the Aussies in the future. Right now I'm trying not to stress out the four new Aussies by taking too many pictures. I just got them a couple months ago and they all immediately went down to molt and it's only in the past couple weeks that all of them have resurfaced (thankfully with great results and some regrown limbs to show for it!) The Aussie I've had for almost six years now, Darwin, is a fussbudget and makes a run for it nearly every time I open the terrarium doors to take a picture of her.

Just realized I meant to post an updated picture of the crabitat in the this thread but forgot about it. Here's one from today plus some more Aussie cuteness.

Brigalow is the largest of the Aussies

That is freaking amazing! I love seeing all of you guys's crabitats! They're so inspiring!
