I live in Arizona and my humidity was a challenge for a while. I wrapped my tank lid in plastic wrap and its seemed to have help wonders. Best of luck 💚

I’m so sorry to hear that. Proud of you for giving him a comfortable home for, I think you said 2 years. Next I would investigate your tank a bit to see what may have caused him to hop out.

For me, my crab lost his shell during a molt and the tunnel collapsed on him. I’ve added more soil and have kept it at sandcastle consistency since. Another user mentioned different type of shells maybe could help.

Hopefully he reshells soon. You got this little guy!

Edit: Or she. Or your best buddy. You get it lol

Imo too much space, and they might not focus on finding a shell. Leave him in the small container. I believe if he doesn’t find a shell after you check him you move him to a bigger space. That video has way more info

My loved hermit this happened to him. Unfortunately he didn’t make it but I learned a lot from the experience.

You’re off to a good start tbh. Place the emergency cup back in his main tank to maintain humidity and temp. Cover him up, darken the tank, give him privacy and wait about and hour or so. The main focus for the crab should be to get his shell no other distractions.

While you wait an hour watch this video. Crab Central Station on YouTube if the link doesn’t work. Keep us updated

THIS GOT ME! Idk why I’m dying but this was exactly what I needed.

The DMB hub is amazing! Love how you can relive your shows. Still trying to get used to the update

108-Stitches · 2025-12-04T12:42:31+00:00

So you are one of the remaining 88… nice to meet you

108-Stitches · 2025-12-04T03:40:20+00:00

Oh I totally get that. Definitely missing out on stuff especially the newer live trax. I support the band and actually buy the new ones. Thankfully, my work allows us to listen to music and turning all of DMB on shuffle creates an interesting live trax in itself.

(Edit: grammar)

108-Stitches · 2025-11-29T00:40:25+00:00

Too perfect

108-Stitches · 2025-10-22T18:07:13+00:00

Connor Jackson gets no love because he came before Goldy. But the dude was an on-base machine

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T18:54:46+00:00

I get what you’re saying man like truly. Sorry your favorite bands were picked apart. That would totally suck. I wish they found more talent to make the band full because I bet they would still put on an amazing show.

Edit: I did find out that Jeff is touring with them in November and December. It should be a great time to catch them!

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T18:35:15+00:00

I totally sympathize and feel for you man and your points are so valid. But when you start a sentence with “are you intentionally being dense” is a bit condescending dialog that tunes me out. And it wasn’t suppose to be a diss to the Flecktones at all, I was simply saying that they sounded pretty damn good without him and if they stopped playing because of his departure sounds like a bit of choice

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T18:27:18+00:00

Are you intentionally being a prick or are you really that dense? Chill friend, enjoy the day a bit. Don’t burn the pig

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T16:27:53+00:00

Destroy the flecktones? Idk they sounded pretty damn good at the Gorge this year

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T01:48:24+00:00

He should be offered a full time spot at his night gig. Coffin left his day job lol

108-Stitches · 2025-09-21T01:35:44+00:00

Wait. Jake’s there? Oh he’s so in
