    I curently have three hermies living with me. I have had them for about 3yrs or so. Well anyway, I haven't had any problems with them molting or anything. I just see them change shells every so often. I have a sponge in there along with a water bowl and food bowl. I have to give the hermies a bath every week so some sort of gills that they have stay moist. I'm sure it says that somewhere on a website. Also make sure you have a big tank for them to stay in. I used to have a pretty small one but I could tell they didn't like it so I bought them a big tank and now they are pretty happy.

    Good Luck on Getting Your Hermies!!

    ps- I bought my hermies at a petstore and they don't seem to be less healthy than any other that I've seen. You might also be able to find some wild ones. I know I've found some before. But those are salt water hermies and take alot more care plus they are meant to be in the wild.

    My hermit crabs were a spontaneous buy. I was vacationing in New Jersey and a tourist shop was selling them on the boardwalk. I've honestly never seen hermit crabs in Pet Stores, at least around here. I've only seen them in tourist stores or most recently at the mall.

    They all died! They were really sweet hermies though. All of them lasted 4 years.
