| Land Hermit Crab Coenobita clypeatus Average length: 4in Average lifespan: 10-15yrs Diet: Commercial hermit crab pellet or canned food, fruits, veggies Temperature: 75-85 degrees F Minimum cage size: 10 gallon aquarium for 1-2 adults Lighting/Heat source: Dome fixture w/heat bulb and/or undertank heater, a full spectrum light is also recommended Substrate: Reptile sand, aquarium gravel, crushed coral, or marine sand Additional info: have a variety of shells for the hermit crab to move into when it out-grows its shell. I recommend using a moist natural sea sponge for a water source, hermit crabs normally like to climb so have wood and rocks that it can climb on, also, it is a good idea to keep some of the substrate moist to aid in moulting back |
