This is where you discuss the conditions of your crabitat -- temperature, humidity, substrate, decorating, etc.

Yes, I would love to know the same things. I saw a moss vine at a craft store but assumed it was fake. I'm in the process of gathering supplies for my upgrade and really want the coconut ladder thing too

The moss vine is from Josh's frogs. It's a lot thicker than I had thought, but it's probably better for the crabs this way. I definitely wouldn't trust craft store moss. I also have mossy sticks which are by Galapagos I think, and they're from pets plus. The coconut and the ladder are one piece and from isopod connection, but she sells them separately too. She's got a bunch of great stuff! Since I just put glass on top of the mesh the exo Terra comes with, I was able to tie the coconut hide into the mesh using fishing line and the string it comes with.

My crabs love their hanging moss pit! I'm sure yours would too
and I totally agree, I would have had no idea what to do with the vertical space if I didn't get a little inspiration! (and my crabs helped a little by showing me how much they love their moss, lol)

He does in that picture! But he's a PP. I've never seen any exotics in my area, sadly. I do have a couple PPs that act like E's though, tearing up the tank! Lol.

Does the moss vine leave a big mess on the sub?

The coconut with the ladder is sold at most pet stores in the bird section or on Amazon

This is such a beautiful set up! Did you use aquarium sealant to secure things into place yourself? I'm thinking of the underneath area in one of the pics. In the shot it looks like acrylic legs of some sort. Dreamy vertical set up.
