Where is the list for safe woods to place in the tank for climbing?
Also. I've seen a couple of posts about these shelves being used... has anyone used this? It looks metal, those aren't safe right? Has anyone used anything similar that's safe for crabs?

The safe woods are listed along with the safe foods.
I know some people do use those shelves, and rust by itself isn't harmful so long as it the right kind of metals. Not sure those are rhe right kind. Also, the shelves end up in a rough state pretty quickly, and if you have a larger bored crab they will pick the plastic coating off!

So basically the shelf is a waste for long term use. I figured, just wanted to double check!
Thanks so much!!

Wode mentioned in her response that it is in the safe foods list.
All the safe woods are included in the list. There isn't a separate page for them.
