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

live plants

I know they will shred some --- but I would like to put live plants in my habitat -- which ones are safe?

Anything on the safe foods list is safe. Some have had luck with pothos, as the crabs won't eat it, and it seems to do rather well in the crabitat. Just make sure to keep whatever you decide to put in the tank a whole month before adding it to make sure there are no lingering pesticides.

JustJay has a whole thread about which plants are being tested... you can search it. :)
