TOM Turtle-Hermit Crab Habitat Jumbo Swamp 28-1/4 x 18 x 6

If my crabs can escape through the top of a 10 gallon glass tank , I seriously doubt this would contain them .

Please, Please, Please do not put a turtle in this habitat. A turtle needs 10 gallons for every inch big that his shell is. Otherwise, their growth will be stunted and their shells will deform. Please buy a 10 gallon tank and a metal grate top. Your turtle needs both a heat lamp and a 5.0 UVB lamp in order to develop and thrive as well as a filter to keep water clean. They have to be able to bask and dry themselves or they can develop bacterial and fungal infections of the shell. Filters can be left out of the tank until they are bigger if you would prefer to do a daily water change rather than spend the money right away. These baby turtles are a 30-50 year commitment. Please raise them properly. Ask a local pet store if you have questions. If you find that your turtles are too much to handle, many pet stores will take them in for you. I've spent upwards of $200 dollars setting up my ten gallon tank with a filter, lights and basking dock. And it is worth it to watch them thrive and play every day.

Bigger than it seems in the picture and its great for baby to young turtles, but would not be recommended for a full grown turtle. Shipping was super fast and it came out great.

This habitat is sadly not suitable for any living creature, but please please please do not put a hermit crab in here.

they will escape for one, and chances are you will not find them.

Hermit crabs are awesome, fun, crazy pets. BUT there is a lot of information out there that is incorrect when it comes to their care needs. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS CAGE. I used this cage in my very early days of having hermit crabs, I then learned the hard way a lot of the things that hermit crabs need that this cage cannot provide. These are some of the things...

1. Metal is dangerous and toxic to hermit crabs, small exposure is okay but not as toys or part of their tank

2. hermit crabs need 3-6" of substrate to dig into and burry themselves in to molt successfully.

3. there is not enough room in this cage to have all the items that a crab needs.

a. salt water dish

b. fresh (declorinated) water dish

c. food dish

d. room to climb and explore

4. this cage cannot hold in heat or humidity, which is vital in keeping hermies alive. Crabs have gills, they need to be able to keep them moist at all times.

when I changed tanks, I kept this cage for "incase of an emergency" moments. If I am having an aggressive crab or crab fights, I COULD use this tank to have them calm down for a little bit or I have used this when I am deep cleaning my tank or when I moved I used this to transfer them (but I removed the water dish and metal climbing wall). Now that I have since upgraded twice, I do not use this because I have a ten gallon tank that I use to isolating an aggressive crab. If you have 1-2 hermit crabs, I have found a 10 gallon tank works good, if you plan on having more, go bigger!

ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT BUY PAINTED SHELLS FOR YOUR HERMIT CRABS -THEY ARE TOXIC !!

WWW.HERMIT-CRABS.COM is a great website, there is almost everything you need to know on this site alone,

hermit crabs require a lot more than pet stores let on. but they are incredible pets, so if you have purchased a

hermit crab for yourself or your child, please do some more research, it is not your fault that you have fallen

for the "hermit crabs only need water, pellet food, and a sponge" We all have to start somewhere. please do not let this steer you away from having hermit crabs because they are great pets, and once you put all the hard work into building a healthy crabitat and learning all the Do's and Don't(s) they are relatively easy to care for them!

This is not a suitable turtle habitat. Popular pet turtles, like Red Eared Sliders, require basking docks and light and a UVB bulb, not to mention 10 gallons per inch and powerful filtration. This would only work with modification and frequent water changes. Do not subject a living creature to this environment.
