Got a Tank
Okay.. well, my first step is in place. From what I have read, crabbies need lots of roaming space, and they have to be able to dig under the sand to molt. Without sand to dig under, they will die. And we don’t want that to happen.
I got a nice sized aquarium yesterday from someone off freecycle. Gotta love freecycle eh? 
I think it’s a 29 gallon, might be 20. I’ll have to measure to find out. It came with a screen top, so I’ll have to get plexiglass or a platic hood. They are not too expensive so I’ll do that.
The tank needs cleaning up, I hope to have time this weekend. I ordered an under-the-tank heater, should be here in a few days. I want to make a humidifier, too, to keep the crabbies nice and humid how they like it.
So the first steps are in place!
And until I can get the comment email responder plugin to work on here (when I have time.. never enough time) then I’ll reply to Leigh’s comment!
