Volume of Crabitat: 60 gal
Description of Substrate: play sand, coconut coir & worm casings
Description of Tank Items: burlap for climbing, ladders, coconut hides, other hides, silk vines, 2 shell shops, salt and fresh water pools with bubblers.
Comments: I recently moved the crabmeat from the bedroom to the living room. When I did I added the burlap for climbing and to hide the heaters. I also added a second shell shop to give them one on the ground and one to climb to and more things on higher levels. I didn’t worry so much about smoothing everything out and even added a little Hill in the middle. Finally, it is conplete with a tiny little UFC octagon in the corner 🙂 I got my crabs just under a year ago but went in knowing some things about their care before making the purchase. This page helped me out a great deal.Name: Kevin Brown

UTH’s on both side and one end in the upper and fully insulated with dollar store sun shades.
Comments: Had to remove ivy vines in the lower section in hopes that the temp would come up a couple more degrees. May end up getting better UTH’s as these don’t seem to be doing the trick, temp seems to be maxing out at 77!

I also added back the glass jar in the sand with coconut fiber also. Bigger and better moss pit on the back wall and a clay pot with some new zealand sphagnum moss. Also changed out fake rock with mushroom and wood fish tank decoration. In the far corner I put in a small turtle dock to rest some coconut fiber and shells on too,
