Agreed thanks for the links!
My mom wants to get one for my sisters bedroom, and I'd like to research before she goes and buys the wrong crap xD

ok well you will need more than one they may be called hermit crabs but they are very social and need to at least have 2. :) thats one of the things i had no idea about them until i my fiance bought his first 2.

Don't forget, two crabs does not a colony make.

I absolutely love hermit crabs! I own six in total. Good hermit crab forums- landhermitcrabs.com ; hermitcrabassociation.com ; Here are some pictures of mine.


This is Kaigan. He is an Ecudorian.


Umi and Minnow. This the only picuture of Minnow I have. She is in the white shell. They are both Caribbean.

Shio. Another Ecudorian.



Umi, the latest picture I have of him. The last two are both Caribbean.



Jimbei, he is one of my "smartest" crabs. He's quick to figure out how to do things and finds a way to climb on everything.

The sixth crab I have is new and he/she went down for a molt.

I nolonger own hermit crabs, but there was a time in my life when I did. Here was my first hermit crab, Hermes the compressus (Ecuadorian). He lived with me for 3 years and eventually succumbed to a infection of his exoskeleton. His passing was my reason for eventually getting out of crabbing.
