My hermit crabs!

[RockyGurly]

Hi guys This is just to show off some pictures of my hermies, my crestie post is somewhere else in cyberspace (I'll put a link somewhere later.. http://www.pangeareptile.com/forums/...-gecko-setup!-) )
PPs!:
Angel, an adopted hermie



Elmo, my smallest



What tank is complete without a pair of lovebirds? Pinky and Draco are always near eachother, it's cute :P (Draco's even tried mating once I think)



My resident goliath, Nudge.



And George, my very special blue PP



Max, a rescue who just recently finished molting for the first time. He was this sickly colour when I got him, but he's very dark now



Cheeto, a very dark hermie, and Peaches, a very light hermie :P PPs can vary so much, they're my favorite species





Exotics! This is Betelgeuse, a strawberry hermit crab. He's very active and very special I only got him in December, and he just came up from a 3 month molt.





I also have a sunset viola, a rare variation of a regular viola And two lovely blueberries. (who are HUGE!)
Thanks for looking guys

VERY neat! I've always wanted Hermit Crabs. I love Betelgeuse. That red is really nice. Thanks for sharing!

If you're interested in hermies, check out the HCA:

It's an INCREDIBLE place for hermie owners, I can't believe how much I learned there!
Thank you He's a really neat looking guy!

Aww what cute pictures! We had hermit crabs as kids, they are really neat pets. I'd love to get some again someday. Had no idea they had 'varieties' now, those reds look great!

Very cute!

I love hermit crabs! Such misunderstood pets.

Yours are beautiful!

Such misunderstood pets.

So true! I was blown away when I found out how wrong the store was when they told me about them.

Adorable, do you keep them all in one cage?

Adorable, do you keep them all in one cage?

Currently, I have them in two seperate smaller tanks right now, however once I get my hands on a cheap 90+ gallon tank, I'll be moving everyone in together As long as there's enough stuff for everyone, they'll be fine and dandy together. In the wild, hermies live in groups of hundreds for safety, so they do alot better in groups in captivity as well, so I'm hoping to get everyone into a big group soon

I decided I had to include this guy, Moose!



My very very special (and decently sought after) sunset viola! He's a variation of the subspecies, I'm currently searching for a regular viola (much easier to find then another sunset) to be a species buddy for him (crabs do better with others of their own species, they're fine with other species, as long as they have a "species buddy")

And here's Elmo, being cute
