Hi Zoe, I will try to get a photo of the green one but it may be awhile -- not sure when I'll get back to see it! Terry :) In a message dated 6/1/2009...
I have a new crab I added to my 10 gallon tank yesterday (it's a PP) and my much smaller PP is croaking and rocking the new one terribly. I went to Lowe's last...
... The new one, did he have iso time to adjust to having shells, food, and waters 24/7? I realize you mention that you saw the older hermie rocking the newer...
No,I never put him in an iso tank....It is cold up here 60's (OHIO) and I didn't have another heater and didn't want him to be cold..I do have one of those...
Hey all! Okay, I am confused. Really, really confused! I bought my first ever hermit crabs off craig's list last week. (Two of them) After 2 days, the small...
Hi Terry, I have a light green crab - Tiny Tim - I bought at a pet store. He didn't have his large pincher and was missing some legs. I just had to rescue...
Hi Laurie, I had wondered if it was an Ecuadorian, I think I have one in my tank -- but I thought they were more tan than green. I will check into it. THANKS!...
Hi Terry, Mine was a tan/green color when I first bought him. Once he moulted, he turned more green with some blue shading. His coloring is really cool. I did...
My E. Diego Miguel HAS had a green tint at times now that you mention it! Right now he is a light, almost WHITE beige, but I bet that's what the green one is. ...
Hi Group, What is the trick to keeping these guys alive past 1 year.. I have had several but they seem to be difficult not like the PP's. Thanks, Cindy...

I'm going on vacation for a week and need some advice/tips for taking care of the hermies while I'm gone. Since it's impossible to have someone come over to...
... No trick really... more of a stable temp (air and substrate temp..both cool and warmish side) humidity % about 75-78% and as stable as possible, very...
... Welcome to the group and the world of crabbing! :) Please do not limit the intake of your hermies ocean water. Please do permit them to have access to it...
... HI! I got my first Hermit crabs yesterday and I have some questions. What can I do to make them want to explore more so they can get used to seeing...
Sorry, I looked on The Crab Street Journal but I can't really find the answer I'm looking for. (maybe I don't know the correct search terms to use) Anyway, I...
... The trick is to provide a stable environment -- just like for the PPs. The *most* important piece for the Es is to be sure that you are offering them a...
marie, my salt water is at the warm end of the tank, i will move it to the cooler end of the tank, thanks for the idea. they do spend plenty of time in fresh...
Hi! I am new to the group, I live in AZ where it is dry all the time, but I think I am doing everything right for Mali and Loki, if I am doing anything wrong...
Sounds like his conditions aren't right. Once they drop more than one limb, there isn't much you can do. ... my new E has lost both claws and another leg is...
Unfortunately, it sounds like PPS has gotten the better of your new E. I don't know how long you have had him, but he should be put in iso with all of the...
