(copy and paste the links on your adress bar)

remember, the little plasitc "critter keepers" ARE NOT OK for anything really, not even hermit crabs.
no matter what anyways says they well long live long in one of them ATLEAST a 10gal tanks
we have ours in a 55gal if that tells ya anything. give them things to climb on. chew on. and lots of shells for molting.
