Your crabitats are awesome! :D Just a couple questions, new to the site lol. Do the clay flower pot dishes (I can't remember what they're called lol) seem to work well as water containers? I was thinking about getting those instead of just plain tupperware, but I was scared the water would seep into the clay. Also, how did you cut away the corner in the glass/plastic for the fogger (?) tube to get through there?

If it's glazed it should work, otherwise it will just leak.

whaat aussiejjdude said, it worked for temporary ones but i moved to plastic Tupperware containers instead for my ISO. And i did and i am never doing that again and do not recommend it. I had two crabs escape and one didn't make it. I am sticking with traditional lids from now on.

Image took this one of him before I left for work this morning. Not sure if its A or L because they are so identical.

Yeah. I need to get an wider variety of shells for these two. Es don't like to change much but I have a feeling they'd like black nerites
