Sand of course! You will also need a sponge (forSTILLEDwater), a thermometer (for keeping track of the temperature to make sure your her hermits are safe), hermit crab food, if you want you can also put in accessories to make your hermit crabs feel at home, a dish for STILLED water (for your hermits to play in and keep cool), a bigger shell for your hermit crab to move into once he moves out of his old shell, and don't forget TO HAVE A FRIEND FOR YOUR OTHER HERMIE (and another shell)!!!

Can you put reptile sand at the bottom of a garter snakes cage?
