I have wanted hermit crabs since I was in high school, and once I moved into my college apartment I started looking on craigslist every week. Finally I saw an ad for two small hermit crabs and a tank for $15. I didn't know much about them, but I knew that the conditions they were living in were very bad for them! I immediately contacted the person and went to go retrieve them. I have spent my time since then reading up on this website and gathering supplies for them. I have a few more items on the way from eBay, but they are loving their new home! I currently have three PPs; Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Zeus is about an inch and a half, the other two are maybe a little less than an inch big.
Here is the current set up until the rest of my items arrive:
Here is what the tank looked like when I went to go save the little guys:
Still coming in the mail are my hygrometer/thermometer, vines, moss, my glass lid, and my heating pad. I still have the miniature water dishes, but they are currently in the drawer underneath since i added the in ground water bowls. Zeus likes to knock the water bowls over so I figured this was the best way to keep him from spilling everyday. I want to add a second shelf to the other side so they have even more room to climb around. I am also currently working on a second jute wall and a jute net to climb. I'll feel a lot more comfortable once the hygrometer gets here and I can better monitor the humidity in there, but there are always water droplets on the walls and saran wrap.
I really think I'm getting tank envy, I'm loving the walls, great climbing space.
