@982MeGaN I did not, everything there was store-bought except for the net. That I got from Hermit Crab Addiction, a website.

I have the Climbing wall you have at the back. ;D I got it the day I got a enw hermit crab for my other crabs. :P I have a funny story to tell about that climbing wall. When I had put in the cage, my lid was closed very well and my new crab climbed up and out of the tank. I freaked out when I saw her missing. I was looking for her for an hour till she popped out from under the bed and climbedon my leg. She scared the crap out of me lol. But she's my night crab. :P

@Kymothy213 Yeah you have to consider that. Even if you cut it back so it doesn't reach the edge, there's still a chance that a crab can climb to the top, sit there.... then a different crab will climb on top of him, then escape. They are clever, and apparently #2 next to snakes in their talents for escaping.

Hey! I was just wondering, what size of tank do you have, And what net size did you buy for it? I wondering if I should get a full net for my 10 gal. or a small corner net, btw. I really need to know, how do you hang the corner and the ladder net?? I am really confused haha. Please comment or message me back! Thanks!

@sammysamgurl Mine is a 100 gallon corner tank, given to me by a friend. For a smaller tank, you can definitely get the smaller nets. They are hard to see, but everything in my tank is stuck to the glass walls by suction cups. If you go to Target or Walmart, go to the bathroom section and get the clear suction cups. I also have suction-cup soap holders that the crabs love to climb up to.

@Kymothy213 My hermit crabs take any chance they get to sneak off lol. I just got two new ones recently and they both escaped out of a igloo thing and ran under my bed... at night lol and I wouldn't have found them if 1 of them didn't keep chirping xD Thank god they chirp haha..
