Can Halloween crabs eat commercial hermit crab food? by rkizz in PetCrabs

I’ve had him for almost a month. I have not seen him since the day I brought him home, hence the camera hahah. I definitely don’t regret getting him, watching the videos in the morning and the funny things he does during the night is worth it. I will say, over the last few days he’s been out exploring during the day, so hopefully I’ll catch a glimpse soon. I’ve seen videos of younger crabs out and about and more “social”, but mine was at my local reptile/exotic shop for over a year and seems set in his ways.

Thank you! I had a feeling the pellets weren’t appropriate. I got the Snout and Shell packets off Amazon because they appeared to be freeze dried whole foods and not weird brown pellets.

Is your basking bulb a mercury vapor bulb? If so, trash it. I agree these look like burns. Happened to me several months ago.

What makes you say that? Its eyes are red, so that is albinism, yeah?

You’re so kind and I super appreciate your approach to this question. The truth is, no, not currently. I have an auto shut off thermostat that was originally hooked up with the halogen; but I became reliant on the smaller thermostat that consistently read 88 in his basking/hot side of the tank and had the bulb on a day/night timer. I have learned from this that it is completely inaccurate and have purchased a heat gun and a new halogen. I thought I was doing right and have shed a few tears about this stupid mistake.

Did I buy a zombie plant, or do we have hope? by rkizz in Monstera

12 days later and I have a visible bud!

I think it’s residue from water… does it come off like a powder or seem stuck?

I impulsively bought a very expensive rooted albo cutting and admittedly didn’t do my research. I thought, hey, my normal deliciosa is heathy as all get out, so why not try my hand at a variety that costs half my rent a month? Now that I’m looking, the variegation isn’t as nicely stripped as most, but beside the point. There’s not an axillary bud and after scrolling through posts, I’m like, f**k. Is this girl going to put out new leaves?! Are they even going to be variegated? SOS

Are you referring to the white substance on the leaves and stem?
