Hello and welcome.

It sounds like you have all your basics down. One thing I'd like to point out is the calci-sand. It's not a great substrate, but makes a nutritious snack. If you have any left over aquarium sand, that makes a great subtrate. Play sand and coconut fiber are also popular choices.

It's great that you decided to keep hermit crabs again. Can't wait to see pictures of Shelby and his soon-to-come friends.

It seems Crazeecrabber103 beat me to the punch.

Hello and Welcome to the forum.

We hope you enjoy your time here, almost as much as playing with your hermies.
