New 40G Crabitat!

[HermitCrabFreak]

I finally got everything together for my 40 gallon crabitat. Prior to this, I had two seperate 10 gallon tanks each with two hermit crabs in them. The first tank had Bada and Bing, which were two hermit crabs I brought home from the shore and in the second tank were Pauly and Snooki, who I adopted shortly after bringing home Bada and Bing.

Of course though, Bing went down for a molt before moving him and only three days I set up the new 40g, Bada followed down for a molt as well. So for now, only Pauly and Snooki are in the new 40g until Bada and Bing surface from their molts (and I cannot wait!! -- Bing should be up any day now hopefully).

So here are some tank pics. My boyfriend installed an automatic rain-mister. We have it set to go off every two hours for 15 seconds and it keeps the tank right at 80% humidity. During the daytime when the sun is on the tank, the temps are between 80-85 degrees, and at night they drop to about 76-79 degrees but I will have a second heat mat to put on the tank once Bada and Bing are moved into this tank, which should help with that.
























Let me know what you guys think!

I love the usage of natural wood and cholla wood!

And it could be fun to add second levels I always have fun doing that lol

Thank you!
And I 100% plan on adding second levels and some upper "highways" that lead into some moss pits. That's the next project

Looks good.

Definitely keep an eye on the substrate to ensure that the mister doesn't lead to a flood! I imagine the heat lamps would help dry things out a little, to counteract, but keep an eye on things regardless!
