Hi everyone, I found a LAND hermit crab on the reefs in St Lucia, KZN.
I travelled with him to JHB and he stayed alive for 19 days. He unfortunately died due to me leaving him in his tank in the sun for longer than 3 hours (I was trying to bring the tank to 70% humidity) - I suspect he over heated and died because when I found him he had left his shell and the side of the tank was pretty wet/humid/HOT.
I'm shattered and was looking forward to him grow and living long - anyone know of these hermit crabs and if you have one that you are willing to sell/donate? Responses would be appreciated.
