New crabitat

[justqltin]

so my first two hc in TN came home a year ago. They have been in an old 10 gal tank with an incandescent fixture and a spray bottle to mist. For all my concerns upon discovering how different it would be to care for them here both are thriving and have gone thru two molts successfuly So I “rescued” 2 more this vacay. (I hate to buy them and support the industry—but these guys have already been “harvested “ and 90% of them will die within 6 mos due to pore care either at the pet shop or by the new owners) I also honored my promise to my daughter that if we could keep them alive and well I’d upgrade their environment. They now reside in a 20g Long tank with glass top that has lots more room, a reptile fogger and a fluvia led light that mimics dawn, daylight with varying conditions including storms, dusk and night. I tried to attach a pic but for some reason the app won’t cooperate. I’ll try from the computer tomorrow. edited to add still can not figure out how to get a pic on here. I guess I need to upload it somewhere but I can't find instructions. I did get it on the Facebook page...

Nice! What are you using for substrate? It looks like it may not be deep enough - needs to be at least 6 inches, or 3 times as deep as your largest crab, whichever is deeper.
