I'm setting up a terrarium and would like to add some hermit crabs. I plan to use fast growing Irish moss as ground cover. I plan to use coconut husk and spagnum / peat moss as the material where I'll plant all of my leafy friends.
Located just outside the hurricane belt, even the outer bands of tropical storms rarely affect the island, and it is fortunate enough to not endure a monsoon season. While the island does experience a rainy season, the weather is never so bad that one should avoid planning a vacation because of rain. Aruba experiences about 18 to 20 total inches of rain annually, a fact which is evident in the flat, dry, desert landscape of the island.
