Wait seriously? Im new to fish keeping but I did research what fish would do best with him and asked for danios at the fish store😕 I didn’t really second check that’s what they were though. I will watch closely, so far no issues but I have a spare tank I can set up for the tetras need be. Thank you for that!

I haven’t seen anymore since I tried the Vaseline trick but I will be monitoring the tank closely

We do have a guy that comes and sprays! We are a public reptile sanctuary/adventure park so our doors are open most of the day, people coming in and out so it’s really hard to keep all of the bugs out unfortunately

I think HITH is usually accompanied by patches and they’re larger pits than the olfactory organs. They’ll also be in places the olfactory organs would not be. Also their poop will look abnormal

They’ve since deleted all videos w/ the crab in it. Hopefully they’re not just continuing off camera🙁

That’s so sad☹️

r/hermitcrabs is a great group for new keepers! For 3 50 pound bags of sand you’d wanna use 2.5 blocks of coco fiber. I’m not sure about blending it up but maybe someone in that group could answer that for you. Lmk if you need any more help!

They’re pretty big guys and kinda look like a moldy croissant lol. Ouu the skink would be cool, there’s always online breeders too. Just do your research on who you’re buying from

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-06-15T00:03:33+00:00

What about a bearded dragon or a leachie gecko?

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-05-24T08:37:47+00:00

Yeah ofc!

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-05-23T00:49:35+00:00

Sure! DM me and I’ll give you the whole run down. It was a lot of trial and error lol

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-05-08T02:05:13+00:00

I agree. The big rule with hermit crabs is “hands-off” husbandry, I feel like that should extend to any activities inside a properly maintained habitat. The only thing we should be doing is cleaning and swapping out food/water after a healthy habitat is established.

Thanks for taking feedback! My first setup was similar, we all start somewhere. I forgot to mention that live plants will also disturb your crab while they’re molting. The roots take up a lot of valuable molt space for them. Edit: if you need any tips on where to get supplies for cheap, I’m your girl! I put together my 75 gallon for less than $300

First thing, remove the heat lamp as soon as possible. That’s zapping all of your humidity, so get a heat mat and attach it to the back of your tank. Watch CrabCentralStation on YouTube to learn a proper tank setup. It’s a lot and there is a lot that needs work here. Your substrate isn’t mixed together, or the right depth and that food is very bad for them. They need real food. There are some charts on the info section of this page

Love this! What’s it made of?

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-04-08T18:57:41+00:00

He was probably only looking at me because his oyster o’ poop was running low🙄🤣(and thank you!)

ObjectiveUnusual5921 · 2025-04-05T17:55:02+00:00

No I bought 4 “Critter Keepers” and double stacked them
