Axolotl are illegal to keep in Singapore
Anyway I do not recommand keeping them as pets as they are critically endangered!
They are also very sensitive on water parameters so please don't buy them indiscriminately if you are not in Singapore and can keep them.
Also don't paint the shells of hermit crabs if you want to keep them as pets coz they do eat the paint when it chips off. It's actually cruel to have painted shells for hermit crabs -
If you want to paint them, kindly use vegetable dyes.Originally posted by elindra:Axolotl are illegal to keep in Singapore

If thats the way , then there are no such things as pets.Originally posted by kiss_my (_i_):THY ARENT PETS
FYI , Keeping Hermit Crabs as pets is internationally recognized. Even those ang moh also keep . But if you can't keep pets properly , see them wan keep just becuz its cute but don't want give them the additional attention , i suggest you DON'T keep any pets , less you give them insufficient attention. In case you don't know , keeping Hermit Crabs isnt as easy as it may seem.
A fellow guy said that Hermit Crabs needs dark shelter when it molts , otherwise it will die. In the wild , they moult underground . If your tank is large enough , you can fill your tank with sand deep enough for them to bury themselve and molt. Otherwise its best to give them a dark shelter.
