Glenshaw PAHere are a few pictures of my new crab tank. It is a 20 gallon high tank, 24x12x16. I am using coconut fiber and play sand. I found the sakrete play sand the cleanness play sand. I have a large piece of choa wood, cork bark and hemp nets for them to climb. I also have a shell shop in the back of the tank. I a moss pit I made from a tooth brush and cup holder I found at the local dollar store, also in the back corner on the right I cave a terra cotta pot for hiding. On the left under the moss pit I have a plastic drawer container for them to climb on. I have one regular water dish and one instant ocean water dish with plastic craft attached for them to climb in and out. I also have a uth attached to the back to the right side of the tank, it is an ULtratherm brand. I have it secured and insulated with aluminium tape, foil and styrofoam. I have a Zoo Med hermit crab dish for feeding. So this is my tank it has been up a little over a month. I hope to grow to a larger one some day. By the way that is tank at the food dish, everyone else was hiding. I have a total of 4 crabs, Tank, Crabby, Tweety and Dumbledore.

Vanessa I also put some on the flickr group but cannot figure out how to link to my original comment
Here are the pics of my crabitat. It is a standard 55 gallon tank, with a l0 gallon “topper”. I use play sand and eco earth as sub, about a 5 to 1 ratio. My crabs are all climbers so the tank has lots of second level sleeping places (made from plastic shower soap dishes) I cover those lightly with plastic vine so they feel hidden up there. I have chola wood climbing logs and a fairly large piece of driftwood that they love to climb on and hide under and behind. The topper is pretty much a shell shop with a large shower caddy thing full of moss. I have two moss pits in the lower part as well. The water dishes are each about 2″ deep and need to be deeper, but I am running out of room. All my crabs can submerge enough to get their shells full and take their baths. My year of birth is 1946, email is dragonfly1233@yahoo.com and I live in North Carolina.

Vanessa, I see that my pics won’t load so I am in a quandry. I have opened a flickr account, but have no idea how to get the pics from there to here. So, I guess, just delete the post and maybe I’ll figure it out next month, or come back when I do.
Anne are you using the CHOOSE FILE button at the bottom?
For each photo after the first one you have to click Add Another File
Maybe we can make a video to assist?Hi Pam and Ann,
If you go to the image you want to share there is a little arrow to the left of the down arrow that you can see below the image. Click that and then HTML embed.

Here’s a video I made on how to upload photos to Flickr and add them to the Crabitat of the Month group.
Next, a video showing you how to use the Flickr>Share Photo>Html embed feature to get the html code to paste into a forum thread.
Narration audio wasn’t turned on but you get the idea.
