Hermit Crab Mortalities

Those are some nasty things you found there birdlady! szaijan, looks like you might need to look in your tank at night when all the lights are out. Good luck, wish I could say more. I know you will, but please keep us posted.

It is a worm trap made at home for cheap...not sure if you need to put bait in it or not......

seems to catch lotsa worms......if that is what's goin' on. I really would defer to any other opinions here,,,as I am not the expert....any other ideas from anyone???

Wow! That sounds earily like what I'm seeing. I'll have to send a query to the PA folks. Thank you! I should probably try the worm trap, just in case.

That would eliminate the Atlantic species of that boring "snail", but doesn't mean it does not have a presence in the Pacific.

 

Thanks for the link fletch, and nice banner/signature.

 

Your Welcome and Thank you Craig ;D I was hoping Dave would make me one but he's still not back so I had to make my own...... John
