Here is my hermit crabs 10g crabitat, setting up my 50g asap.. Threw this together last minute and am rather proud of myself! I plan on adding a shell/moss pit on either end to free up ground space and mixing some play sand with my EE as well. I have five years past experience and tons of supplies already. Stay tuned for updates!!

Cute little guy! Your crabitat looks great! However- the pine log needs to go. Pine is an unsafe wood for hermits. The sap is poisonous to them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Looks good! What kind of log is that other than artificial? Oh and the dimensions if you don't mind. I want to find one for my ISO tank. Thanks

Thanks for the info! All of our Petco's have gone out of business.
I haven't seen any in Petsmart (haven't really looked either tho). I may try to see if I can order one.... Thanks again!
