need suggestions for climbing surfaces

I had a sort of hammock thing made of rope, but it keeps growing mold. I was wondering if there were any better alternatives? I also can't get fake foliage to stick to the tank for very long (I've only used the kind with suction cups).

I have a stubborn crab who won't change her wardrobe...

She's in a Cittarium pica (magpie) shell, which she wore home from the pet store, and it's probably the shell she was caught in. It's clearly too small for her now, and I have some appropriately-sized turbo shells sitting in her enclosure, but she doesn't seem interested. Could she just be so attach...

Re: Rate my 'tat!

I actually picked up the water dish for my black rat snake, but I ended up using something else for her. It's just been collecting dust for a year or so. I just got my crabs this past Christmas and decided to fix it up for them. I got it at the local pet store in the reptile dept... It's a Zoo Med "...

Re: Rate my 'tat!

Yes, there is fresh and salt water (instant ocean). There's a Plexiglas divider that I installed in the water dish using aquarium silicone. The substrate is 7inches deep. As for the shells, I had more in the enclosure, but they're way too big for either crab. All shells pictured are for my smaller c...

Re: Need advice regarding water dish

We tried the silicone/plexiglass idea. Seems to be water-tight, but haven't put it in the enclosure yet.

Need advice regarding water dish

Hi :) I have a Zoo Med "Repti Rock" Corner Bowl (12" long on each straight edge) and I want to put a divider in so that I can have one side with fresh water and one side with salt water. Does anyone have an idea how I could do this and have it water-tight, while still being safe for my crabs? I've i...
