HCA: Hermit Crab Association

I'm in the process of setting up my very first crabitat (no crabs living here yet... am adopting two small ones from a relative in a few weeks). It's a 20g long. So far, I've got some water pools, a DIY hut to hide in with a dish on top (I glued them together so it's all one piece... the top part will probably will be the shell shop), and a couple of boardwalks for a second level. I need to add a moss pit somewhere, and would like to add some climbing structures, but am not sure how I want to lay it all out yet. What do y'all think? I was leaning toward putting a moss pit either over the pools or in the corner in front of the hiding spot/shell shop. What else am I missing?

I'm having trouble taking good pictures, but you can get the idea. The substrate's a bit higher than it looks like here (it's 5-6" depending on the side of the tank).









ETA: Hopefully the pictures work now!

Ah! None of the pics will show up

My crabs have several moss pits...

One in the tree


One in the log and one under the shell shop!


The One under the shell shop is the favorite spot For My hermies. I dug a nice deep corner and filled it with damp moss! Ill come in and see Just a little bit of them peeking out from under the edge of the moss!



Have to add some Greenery but it works

Sorry about the pictures! They were showing up on my end Should be fixed now.

I love the moss pit under your shell shop! Do you have the moss right on top of the substrate? Does that work out okay?

I have it on sub right now but i really wring my moss out!
