not long to wait!

Heya!

Well, my stuff will be coming in sometime Thursday morning. I got amazing discounts on everything! I'm so happy... and I'm sure my crabbies will be too! I'm going to get them this coming weekend!

So... not only did I get a great deal on the prices, but I was also given a reptile mesh cover for my tank, and it fits perfectly. I know it's not a glass top, unfortunately, but it will do just fine. If I wrap it in saran wrap it should keep in the humidity. I ordered one of those handy clamp-on light fixtures instead. There's UVA light bulbs at the dollarstore. I don't think I'll be having any problems with temperature. ;p AND I'm also going to be getting a 10 gallon aquarium free of charge (which I can use for my ISO tank)! Yay!

We went to Reno this morning and I picked up an 18kg bag of washed playsand (which means it's been sterilized already - all I have to do is throw it in a bucket and mix in a bit of dechlorinated water) and two small glazed ceramic plates to use as food and water dishes for my hermies.

When my stuff comes I'm going to go pick it up and start setting up the crabitat right away. The most important thing though will be to stabilize the temperature and humidity before I get my crabs.

Ooh. Hehee. I just macramed a net ramp for my crabs to climb up to the second level. The second level is going to be a plastic container with a hole cut in one side, filled with sand and shells and suspended in one corner by suction cups. I'll hot glue the net to the entrance and the crabs will have a great time finding their way up.

I know, I know... I'm crab obsessed! But I'm so excited! YAY! :p

Tomorrow I'm walking down to the dollarstore to pick up some more stuff. Alright. I'm going to bed. Cya!
