That is a beautiful crabby you have there! He/she looks big!!

That looks beautiful!! Now I want to go rearrange mine!

Adorbs!

Thanks Just Jay! I ended up stacking some large tupperware pools too. I didn't want to mess around with trying to make a DIY pool. I'll have to post pics later and show you all! The whole 55 is set up now and some crabs are moved in while others are waiting until they come up from molting!

Agreed both are PP's!

Sometimes PP's can have larger/smaller eyes of diff. colors like black or brown. The red you were seeing might be cause it was in water in that pic.

OMG I love this!!! Great job!

It looks great! I agree on adding a shell shop - that solved my crowded crabitat problems instantly!

Also, I made a topper too, and it takes them awhile to venture up into it! So far I've only had one brave one (who loves to climb) end up in it. I've had it for almost a month now.

Aw, he is quite handsome!!

That looks gorgeous!!! I especially love your sunken moss pit! I just might have to try that now!

Yep!! And so adorable!

Awwww, so cute!!!

Gorgeous!!! And such cute hermies!!
