Hi Benae! I was so sorry to hear that your crabtank broke! I've had that happen to me before. It started as a crack and soon became a throw-out job. I'm glad ...

... Petsmart/Petco won't carry the 'good' CaribSea stuff, only the very coarse stuff as you found, and perhaps bags of "AragAlive" so- called 'live' sand for...
Also, just so you know another route that it is available, the 'Calci- Sand' and 'Repti-Sand' products are aragonite as well.... calcium carbonate = aragonite...
Hi Everyone! It's that time again. As you might have seen the photo has changed on the main page of the forum for the Land Hermit Crab owners Society. ...
When you talk about molting, do you mean just shedding the old exo, or do you mean that + growing the new one? Generally how long does it take for the old exo...

As far as I understand the reptibark is not a good substrate in general because they cannot bury if they want to. Also, out of Marie's 200 some molts, all but...
Hi . I switched my main crabitat to Eco earth which the hermies seem to love. However everything is filled with the stuff on a constant basis. The extra...
