Re: Clean-Up Crew—Tenebrionidae
Hello. I have darkling beetles that I raise, but they are mealworm and superworm sized. The beetles look like the ones you have, but they are about an inch long and boy do they STINK. Darkling beetles LOVE wood - AND they will lay their eggs wood and dirt. They multiply like CRAZY. I wish I never st...

Re: Looking for advice on upgrading my tank
I wanted to mention that you can get bigger tanks for a cheaper price purchasing them used on sites like OfferUp, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and 5miles. Search things like Fishtank, fish tank, reptile, terrarium, etc. You can typically find whole set ups for less than what you would purchase a...

Re: Would a UVB light help kill mold
I do highly recommend UVB lighting though. My crabs are very active.

Re: Columbus, GA ~ 5 Crabs need adopting
The HCA currently does not recommend shipping due to delays due to weather. It is not worth taking the risk.

Re: Which wheel?
I've only used the silent spinners - I like the way they arch, it helps balance the weight of the craft mesh. I haven't had any difficulty drilling them. No cracked wheels. My crabs love the saucers. I only have them in two of my tanks, but they get used as much as the silent spinners. I have one of...

Re: 2 crabs in SW Florida
I am in Volusia County Florida and can meet you to take them. I do not recommend shipping them.
Edit: I also know someone in Parrish if that is closer to you.

Re: Crab constantly underground!
My pleasure! Just a reminder - having the ultratherm on the entire tank can dry out the substrate - so you may need to remoisten it. I don't have this issue in Florida. I know @Wodesorel has mentioned rewetting substrate before.
Best wishes!

Re: Can anyone recommend a digital thermometer/hydrometer?
It really depends on where you keep them. If you keep them down on the substrate where the crabs can climb all over them and get dirt in them then they will not last long. If you have to spray your tank to boost humidity, then they won't last long. I've had mine for several years. Just recently I ha...

Re: Humidity Trouble
Hopefully it is just the hygrometer. Is your hygrometer digital or analog? IMO analogs can be unreliable. Here is a digital one that I use: https://smile.amazon.com/AcuRite-00325-Comfort-Monitor-Black/dp/B004K8RF10/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1JJZCFQ15FI6O&dchild=1&keywords=accurate+temperature+and+humidity+sen...

Re: Crab constantly underground!
I personally like to keep my tanks in the temperature range of 78 (low at night) to 85 (high during day). As far as humidity I prefer above 80 at all times. mine range from 85-99%. I have found that by following these guidelines my crabs are more active. I understand you are in the UK and that it is...

Re: Spring water
From what I understand it is better to use tap water and use prime so that there are minerals in the water. That is what I do.

Re: Which wheel?
I'm late to the party, but I prefer the silent spinners. I have a few jumbo crabs, and I get the medium wheels, and even then, they have no problem walking them. The one jumbo is a brevi - and they walk really tall. I know you already ordered your wheel DragonsFly - but this could be helpful for peo...
