Question
can i keep a baby corn snake and a hermit crab in the same 20 gallon tank?

Answer
No the hermit crab needs to be kept in pairs trios or larger groups, they do NOT like being housed alone, the snake would scare teh crab and possibly stress him right out of his shell leading to a unwanted death, the hermit crab also needs a very humid inviroment with shallow but fair sized water areas perferbily one with normal declornated water and one with sea salted decloranted water, Hermit crabs also needs deep bedding in swich they can dig into and under swich is normaly playground sanitized packaaged sand or bed a beast typed bedding again it has to be mosit so they can Never live together.
