Where to buy a crab.

[emmac350]

Not that I'd trust or that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Can you buy hermit crabs on the internet? Yes. You can buy exotic species too. But I don't think it's a good idea, and any source you find needs to have exceptional methods (accounting for relative temperatures along the way, speed of shipping method, etc.) to get your crabs there any less stressed than what you could get in a pet store.

I found my Es in a pet store when I was killing time before picking someone up from the airport (flight delay). I bought a gallon of distilled water at the grocery store nearby, bought a brick of Eco Earth and the biggest critter keeper the pet store had, then 20 minutes before I had to be at the airport I bought the crabs, put them in the CK, wen tto the airport, and then transferred the crabs to ISO as soon as we got home.

where do you suggest to buy a crab?

I would strongly recommend not getting any more hermies until you have all the supplies you need, and a properly set up crabitat.

i dont know where you are, but... many reef and reptile shows and expos will have people with hermit crabs OR know where they can get some.
in addition...
if you are in a location where people vacation to "the shore" like new jersey? an add in the neighborhood "facebook internet yardsale" will get you a lot of them as people bring them home form vacation and dont know how to keep them
