Great setup! You should try putting some moss in the shower caddy and then putting the shells on top- great for humidity and they will love burrowing in the moss.

Randa, do you have only one water bowl? You need dechlorinated fresh water and dechlorinated marine salt water, both pools need to be deep enough for them to submerge in :) Here is a link on water: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 25&t=92553

Your guys are super cute!! I love the one climbing to the top! I like your set up, good roaming space and some fun climbing stuff :) I like that chunky cholla! Oh, and just wanted to make sure u have a thermometer And hygrometer to measure temp and humidity. If u do and I missed it in the pictures, my apologies! Thanks for sharing! I love looking how others have set up their crabitats! Great sources for inspiration ^_^

It looks like you've made lots of good improvements so far! I'm sure your crabbies will thank you! Also, @Kermie16 if you look in the dark part of the 2nd pic I believe you can see their accurite. Like @GotButterflies mentioned, just make sure you have dishes they can submerge in of both msw and freshwater. Otherwise it looks like you are really on the right track! I love how you implemented your fish net! You have great space utilization in there. :) As far as your crabby falling, don't worry. They are also known as tree crabs, so a short fall won't hurt them. In fact, anytime I hear a *clunk* now I just laugh. XD
