Great Find-Congrats!! Back in the late 70's when noone really knew what Hermies were,I had three Purple Picher's tha were the size of my hand.I spent alot of time and money as they grew to keep them in shells,which back then were none too easy to find.

Good luck with him!

Aww, what a cutie! Wow, hes probably 20 or so years old. Congrats on the Es, too. Where did you end up finding them? I went almost a year here without finding any. I finally found some up in northern CA.
Devs, I remember in the mid 80s when I started keeping hermits the shells werent as easy to find, either (course I had small hermits). Amazing how things change!

Im lucky, acsess to things like Naples Shell Company...
Found my E's in a little shop down the strewt from me.. they take horrible care of their animals, but I needed crickets for my moms frog, and everyone else was closed... and of course I had to look at the crabs...

Wow! He is wonderful!
How hard are they to keep? No, never mind, I don't need to know about anything else that can be possibly kept as a pet!
Good luck with him, hes amazing!
