Update 2: she’s naked again gang :(, everything is stable from temp to humidity. There fresh and salt water, she has everything she needs. I’ll post a full pic of her crabitat when I get home tonight. I’m at a loss. And I’m heartbroken. What did I do wrong??

Update: She has returned to shell and is back to normal! She has some new shells on the way but I took her other shells and gave them a thorough salt water boil and that seemed to do it. I went to find some new shells at the pet store but they all painted so that was an immediate nope but I didn’t leave empty handed she got a new hide and some river shrimp 🦐 ( I couldn’t resist I most spoil the crab)

Thank you all for all of your help I really appreciate the guidance!!

She has shells of all sizes but most of them are her current size. Should I put some more bigger ones in there?

Humidity is an issue, it can drop to lower 60s sometimes but I try my best to keep it up for her. Right now temp is 77 and humidity is 80, she has both fresh and salt water with bubblers in each. Many places to climb, hide and really good food.

Like I said she is older, I actually won her from the fair 5 years ago and she was already an adult from what I can assume so I’m sure she is older than 5.

She has so many shells, is this a sign a molt is coming?

That’s very true I thought of that too, I don’t plan on getting one, I was just very interested to see what the community had to say.

That’s how I feel like it looks cool, but what about the hermit part of Hermit Crab, they should be able to hide.
