no because the lizard will try to eat it and the crab will hurt the lizard if it got the chance, and also a 100 gal tank is to big for them.
I highly recommend against it. I am in lizard rescue and know that they will try to eat anything small that moves. Your lizards can also pick up disease from the hermit crabs. Its really a lose lose situation.
best things to do is set them free in the wild where they belong.
bad idea… lots of undue stress on both animals. Also, Uros are desert animals and crabs are from humid environments, doesn’t really compute. If you want to give the crabs some exercise, put a tiny bit of warm water in the bathtub and let them frolic in there for a while, they love it.
(100 gallon tank?? Lucky, lucky Uro…)
