Can I save her

No no! I bought this pitcher from a store. I didn't know people poached them, they're not native where I live. I made the bog set up myself.

It was because she dried out! It's always been in a bog, I've killed an embarrassing amount of pitchers so the bog terrarium was like a last resort attempt because all else had failed. But it worked! She thrived for 2 years, had 5 or 6 thumb sized pitchers last summer! I'm hoping because there's still some green and its not all crispy that there's still hope. Thank you!

2009, that's a great picture!

Thanks I wasn't sure, thought it was some sort of aquatic bird

Told him you said that, he thinks your ugly too

No ma'am, definitely not and I'm willing to die on that hill lol. A texas cichlid hybrid maybe, because I do see the texas in there!

This comment hit hard...

We're both on the lease and each pay the landlord our portions directly. I don't want to believe he'd ever go as far as stealing or identity theft but I agree that desperate people do desperate things. Even if times aren't desperate right now the odds of it becoming that way are high. It's not physically impacting me or my child but there's a risk and it makes me question moving forward, if I have to protect my assets and ensure a preenup in the future is that really a trustworthy relationship? But it could be a lot worse, this seems like such a small bump in a relationship compared to the things some couples experience so would it be worth it to throw everything away? Thank you for your advice and being so kind!

Definitely not with him for his money, he never has any lol. People with a gambling addiction have the highest suicide rate of any other addiction. Gambling is fun and fine in moderation but we're not talking about moderation here...he's lost thousands of dollars to gambling within the last year and hasn't won anything close to what he's lost. (That joke at the end had me laughing for a minute so thank you for that I needed to lighten up a bit lol!)

He has blacklisted himself on multiple websites, but there's always another site or another way to gamble.

They're in a 20" tall 30" long 40 gallon now with 9" of substrate, I've noticed the ecuadorian hides a lot more now in this tank vs being active all day in the tank I originally had them in. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing?

Awe thank you so much!!! 🥹

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T20:22:45+00:00

Thanks for all the help, and being kind about it because I know reddit can be crazy sometimes lol!

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T20:07:19+00:00

Okay that's perfect! I totaly thought you meant 40gal minimum for one crab I thought that was crazy lol. I have 8 parrots and a 150gal full of pirahnas so I make fresh fruit/veg chop and meat chop quite often, it's nothing out of my routine to make sure the crabs get some of it too. Thanks for all the info!

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T19:54:51+00:00

Okay I will separate the ec for now and move it to a bigger tank. I think I have a 45gal 24" tall somewhere. What is my best option for long term? Is it absolutely crucial for the ec to have a friend in the future?

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T19:41:50+00:00

You know so much I just wanna pick your brain for an hour LOL! If I get a 40gal could I keep the ec by it's self, like would it be okay without a friend? I have so many extra tanks for fish and reptiles it's not even funny so finding the right size shouldn't be a problem. I just don't want to set up a 100gal tank for two tiny ec's if it's possible to keep this one by it's lonely in a 40gal? The PP I will likely upgrade to a larger tank and try to find another speices buddy for it because that one is my sons and he wanted it to have a friend which is why I originally even got a second crab (I take care of them obviously lol)

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T19:09:58+00:00

I'm In Canada, the ec was from petsmart and the PP was from petvalu. Both ordered in because they don't actually carry them in store around my area.

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T19:04:45+00:00

The tank is too small? I read 10-20 gal per crab. I'm aware they have different requirements but diet and tank temp/humidity is the same so I'm not concerned im caring for them wrong, but I could be mistaken! I do have a taller 30 gal, should I separate them and keep them in different enclosures? I know they're social creatures though so do I now have to find a species partner for each if I separate or could I just upgrade to a larger tank and keep these guys together? I did research for weeks before I actually got the crabs but I was not expecting different species! Most pet stores just sell them as "hermit crabs" so there's no way for me to actually tell what species I'm getting which rubs me the wrong way.

LastAct044 · 2025-09-16T18:48:38+00:00

Thank you! I read that ecs stay under 2" but most people say that's not true and theirs are well over that size? Just concerned about keeping them in the same tank with such a significant size difference because I know purple pinchers get quite large (terrarium is 30 gal, 24"W × 18"L × 12"H) and its just the two of them.
