New Hermies! :)

[Casper]

Thanks you two. I had planned on doing a thorough cleaning of their home in the next few days, so I'll take a few new photos then and make a thread.

Alyssa, since all hermits are wild caught, I am not for sure on their ages. Studies have showed that you can guesstimate a hermit crab's age by how big they are, and judging by the chart Monster would be atleast 20 and Murder is closer to 10 or 15. I've had Monster for two and a half years and Murder for almost a year.
I'm glad your parents were okay with it! My mum is afraid of them lol. She says they look too much like spiders.

Kirk and Spock are so cool! I've always been fascinated by hermit crabs.

Thanks!

You should get some Annette, they're so cute Courtney do you have the link to the chart or was it not online?

I got a cute pic of Kirk I wanted to share. I LOVE when they go in their shells from being scared and then they slowly peek out are you LOL it's so cute.


Oh and an additional one of Kirk.

I find their eyes so beady and cute

So Kirk turned out to be a girl like I figured she was. I confirmed it 3 days ago. I didn't want to rename her but calling a girl "Kirk" is kind of mean. So I looked up some Vulcan names for females and T'Stala (pronounced Tastala) struck out to me. I was looking into a name for one of Spocks women but honestly I just really like T'Stala...so I kind of saddled her with that. Aside from that they are loving their new cage. These guys are a bit of a pain and like to dig and dig and dig their food so I need to go searching for it. We don't want any mites here! They are pretty active, especially Spock, the little blue one. I got a new camera, so here are some pictures of them.


I don't know why but I just think Hermit Crabs are adorable LOL. I love the beady eyes. Someone told me they remind them of spiders but I hate spiders and I let these guys crawl all over me!

Your hermies are so tiny and adorable compared to my two!

I think they are the cutest things, too. My mum is one of those that say they remind her of spiders. I used to have a few Ecuadorians, and they move a lot faster than these... if mum saw them she would run out of the room squealing like a little girl. lol
