Re: 'Saved' Crabs, wanting to make perfect habitat
Any pics of the turtle and the shells?

I've never had any problems with 'Impulse Buying'. They're just animals that I forgot I had planned to get.

Yep! I love the little turtle too. Which shells did you get?

Re: 'Saved' Crabs, wanting to make perfect habitat
I'll take some pictures in about an hour, its been pretty crazy here lately and I just forgot. I'm in the process of looking for a new house so that's where most of my time has been going.
I decided not to overhaul there current tank and instead I'm looking for a good deal on an aquarium online. I'm looking for one that has a lid attached, that instead of opening normally slides out because that would be much easier to 'child safe' and I haven't found anything in that department yet. I did find this... http://www.bigappleherp.com/Zoo-Med-Her ... -10-Gallon which is the design I'm looking for but it's just too small. The issue is my nephews are in love with the crabs and I'm afraid when they are old enough to realize how to open the tank, they will, but with something like that I could attach some sort of lock or something easily enough I think.
**edit**
Here are the pictures I promised, the tank is more dirty and wet than usual and that's because I took these prior to today's cleaning.
http://i.imgur.com/3gT378yh.jpg that's the 'shell area' that I made, also all the crabs are pictured there. The multicolored thing is a house my nephews made for them out of some block toys. You can also see some of the Shrimp / Egg shell / Cuttlefish bone like supplements that I put down for them as snacks.

http://i.imgur.com/lVWlf3uh.jpg and the little turtle figurine that people asked to see, I find it adorable.

Depending on the state you live in, it very well maybe against the law to give hermies out as prizes.
