I found a photo of Spearmints old cage, and boy it doesn't look fun at all to say the least. Sorry for the bad photo, it was the best I could find.

Comparing that to my cage now. Again, sorry for the bad quality, and lighting, it's late but I wanted to post this lol.

Now the hermit crabs. Why did I think this was okay :depressed:

A nice 45gal, (soon a 125 gal), with plenty of sub and nice, safe stuff. It looks broken right now because they've been tearing the plants apart but Sparrow is moulting so I cant move anything lol.

I love them both!

Are you going to try for a live bioactive tank for the crabs?

Definitely! I'm just trying to find somewhere that stocks dwarf white isopods, or springtails. And also trying to figure out how I should place them, as i'm planning on also doing a custom background with silicone and that expanding aquarium foam :laugh:
