blue leg hermit pregnant... update w/ vid. of action 18+ pls

Michelle, you have a very prolific tank, :lol: :lol: What are you doing, playing Barry White music? :wink:

Pretty cool picture BTW.

Maybe a silly question, will you need to put a bunch of little shells in the tank or do they actually become the food chain?

lol. I've actually noticed the blue leg hermit getting preg. quite a few times. Everytime the big blue leg finds the smaller one, he jumps on her and messes around. After that, she gets pregnant. ~_~

I actually googled breeding hermit crabs, and it's a pita. they'll need a chain of foods to breed. In my tank, they're just going to be food I guess.
 
ok so I caught a video of the action...
she's getting rapped!!! he just can't keep his claws off her! man...
but after 30 mins of shaking her shell, i think he gave up... she wouldn't come out of the shell..
