Hi,
I'm new to the site. I have just purchased 100 hermies in the most amazing brighly painted shells. They are so funny to watch running around with mickey mouse, 3D bugs, hats etc. They are sitting in plastic containers until my coffee table aquarium (3 foot which use to have 2 turtles) arrives. I moved from Melb to Noosa (QLD). I have researched them throughly, knowing as much to know at this stage. Once tank is set up will post some photos. It should look amazing. They are very complex little creatures which hobbists should take seriously. They require low maintenance are very clean and all have their own personalities. Inthe right environment, correct diet, lots of ocean water (I collect most days-10 mins walk to beach) will live for up to 20 years. I have varying sizes, the largest, are the size of a golf ball. will post more when my "Crabarium" is set up.
