LOL it does look like that! I think its just the angle that the picture was taken at though.

Re: I Finally Finished My Background Wall!

sadly when I was a kid, i was a neglected crab owner. Well, i probably kept them better than half the people out there. Special sand, coral to climb on. But I was young. I'm sure I didn't have then at the proper temperature and I KNOW I didn't feed them properly.

I did realize this eventually and gave the whole setup to someone who wanted to take good care of them though.

Re: I Finally Finished My Background Wall!

ha ha ha you all are so great! nope not a high heel shoe it is just the level caddies covered and then in that corner I connected the two so it looks like one uneven rick sorta. I tried to make it look realistic and bumpy...I will get better pics by SUnday I plan on getting it set up for the crabbies to go into!
