Tank setup of my dreams

     I love this setup, its so beautiful and roomy but also gives the hermit crabs the things they need to climb and hide in. I have no idea how large this tank is but if I could pay the person behind this to redo my own asap I would.
     I just had to share this lol.

Until next time,

Late Night Stroll

     "I see you~!" Prada was out and about last night, tasting a bit of the boiled egg I place in their food dish yesterday. She seemed to like it which made me happy and Chloe ate a bit as well. They climbed around (as much as Prada could) and I tried to take a couple pictures but the lighting was horrible so I'm not going to post them up. I still hope to get great images tomorrow which I can't wait for :3 

     Chloe discovered the second level last night as well (soap dish). She explored it for some time, seemed to like it and I realized I needed to fix the burlap net so she could climb down safely. I hope to make a larger second level but first I would need to buy a larger tank such as a 20 gallon or more. I do plan to buy one soon because a 10 gallon just isn't going to cut it after they molt and grow. I can use the 10 gallon to separate my crabs when they are in fact molting. 

      Even though its May I find that my crabitat is staying on the cooler side. I have been using the heating lamp I purchased and it is working but when it's on I find the humidity falls which sucks. I tried the heating pad but the one I bought didn't stay onto the side on the tank and I returned it. I'll have to solve this issue fast. 

Until next time,

Shells and Stuff

     I was looking everywhere for shells; petsmart, petland, petco, and online. Gave in a bought a couple of them even though their selection was pretty sad. But when I walked into a craft store to grab a couple things I came across the fake flower section and spotted this cool net. I though I could make something for my crabs to climb on. Its a huge roll, 10 yards, and I'll have enough of it for the time to come.  (See the burlap roll here)  

     When I saw the burlap net I found the shells right next to it. A huge bag for $13. I made sure they were natural and hadn't be dyed, painted, or scented ( plus contained shell my crabs could use). They seemed fine so I thought,what the hell I'll give it a try. I boiled them first for about twenty minutes and let them cool then added some of them to the tank. I'm so happy I did buy the shells. Now I have more shells then I know what to do with them and more importantly my crabs are happy. What I can't use I'm saving for later to place on the beach, maybe someone else can use them :3

Some of the shells I got from the large bag. This was about half way through when I had to switch the pot because it was too small.

How small her first shell was and please don't mind my sad ass nails...
