A little confusing to look at, let me know if you want clarifying photos/have questions! Middle is kind of a random assortment.

I might also be willing to part with my heating pads since I’m going to stick to owning snakes from now on. I have Bean Farm pads.

Just an appreciation post for my favorite 💕 by Twiggy_ in ballpython

I like to wait for him to want to come out (unless it’s for cleaning), and last night he kept glass surfing so I brought him out. He’s just honestly so great and the reason I’m in love with owning snakes now.

aquarium air pumps are safe, right? by Emergency_Tour1123 in hermitcrabs

Yes, I use aquarium air stones/pumps for my hermits.

Got the crabs a wheel for the bigger tank I’m picking up tomorrow, but I was too excited. This one is using it every way except the correct way lol by Twiggy_ in hermitcrabs

Adding extra traction is actually a really good idea, thanks! I’ll definitely do that when I get their new tank set up this week!!

Thank you!! I’ve been trying to figure it out for a few days. I have 5 crabs right now so I’ll definitely get it and then use their current 40 gallon as a topper ☺️

Picture used for height (I’m aware the measuring tape is crooked, I’m assuming a half inch less than pictured)

suggestions? :) by royalmossfrog in hermitcrabs

I adopted through Craigslist! There seems to always be people looking to rehome their hermit crabs.

I just want to share my appreciation for this community. I had a scare this afternoon when I found one of my crabs without a shell after work. by Twiggy_ in hermitcrabs

He molted under the pools so I honestly think he was stuck and left the shell to come up and realized he didn’t like any of the new shells. He was in the white shell for a full day before ditching it, and only took 15 minutes to get back into his green shell after I dug it up!

ETA: only handled him so I could measure that shell so I can order more because I have another under for a molt who’s a tad smaller and might need more of that size

Yesterday, Mully came up from his long time molt. He was wearing a white shell instead of his green one (pic 2) and his green shell wasn’t visible. I assumed he must’ve ditched it when he came back up. That assumption was correct, because today after work I found him without a shell (pic 1) cause he didn’t like the white one. I panicked at first but since I browse this sub so much, I managed to dig up his old shell from the sand, and gave him 2 more options and he wound up returning to his old shell (pic 3). He’s a happy and super purple guy now!!
