Stuff like cholla and cork is pretty cheap, and they look really good. Fake plants are also a good option. For water pools, you can use plastic tubs, and you can also use a shower caddy as a moss pit. If you want more hides, you could use a plastic tub flipped upside down with a hole cut in it as a door(sort of like a snake humidity box). That's all I know, but I'm not that great at decorating. Hope this helps!

Make a popsicle stick bridge! You just need the sticks (you can get a box of 1000 for like $5) and twine to weave around the ends, over-under style. I made this one for my crabbies!

You can also build hides and structures out of legos. I've also gotten fish tank decor like coral archways and wrapped them in craft mesh to give them something to crawl on.

Otherwise all of asiankanye's suggestions were great, too!

I love making levels out of numerous items, like shower caddies, pvc platform - make legs out of pvc, and put a slate tile on top for example -, wood, vines ect. Crabs love the climb and also enjoy hiding in the decor.

Hello! If you still need some ideas I have a few to add. I’ve been keeping hermits for many years and I’ve used all kinds of things to decorate or provide hideaways with such as clay pots, plastic cups or jugs that I cut in half, coconut shells from the grocery store, and as previously mentioned lots of aquarium decor. I prefer using wood and I think most kinds can work except evergreen. Someone correct me if I’m wrong here. I find lots of cool pieces of wood out on walks and stuff. I enjoy changing up the tanks a lot to keep it interesting for everyone including me!
