Introduction

Post by Apoplexic » Sat Oct 15, 2016 1:40 am

Hello!

I've been using the boards here as a resource for quite a while, and thought I might as well join and show what I've got rolling!

These three were all purchased from a local, reputable pet store. I've had them for nearly two years.

Yoshi, my active one.

Boo, who likes to come out when I'm not paying attention (and the one who inspired the naming scheme).
Image
Shyguy, that rarely leaves safety.
Image
A view from the front. Tank is a 20H; the heater is half-buried, but came stuck on the outside like that. And the thermometer doesn't work.
Image
From the top, down.
Image
The right side. Food typically goes in the rear, with saltwater in the lighter dish, but alas, my box of salt got wet, and they're going without until later on today.
Image
Left side, complete with coconut climbing wall and lots of wood.
Image
Slightly better view from the front; Yoshi was booking it as usual!
Image
Dinner tonight consisted of yam, squash, carrot, and some pear.

Thanks for the years of helpful advice!

Welcome! Glad you've decided to "linger" no longer and join the ranks! You have some pretty sweet looking crabbies. The only thing I will mention is that you want to make sure they can submerge in their water dishes to change their shell water- many use tupperware containers, with crafting mesh for bridges. Also, sponges in the water dish tend to harbor bacteria, and aren't really necessary, though they like to munch on natural sponge dry. Otherwise, your set up looks pretty good, and your crabs look healthy. :) I hope you enjoy it here! :cheer:
