Temp and Humidity hold around 78F-82F and 75%-88% respectively. We got FMR as our baseline food, but are still exploring what other foods they show interest in.

The heat pad needs to be removed asap. This will cook your crabs. It needs to be put on the back or side of the tank above the substrate line, (you want to heat the air, not the substrate) which should be a minimum of 6 inches or 3 times the height of your largest crab. Whichever is deeper. If the heat pad is self stick it cannot be reused. Most of us use a mix of playsand and eco earth for substrate. It has to be mixed with dechlorinated water to sandcastle consistancy so it holds its shape.Westphalian87 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:24 amThe 10gal heater is on the bottom of the tank. It was an old herp set up that I had. With aboit 1.5"-2" of sand it will maintain about 78F consistently when the room's windows and doors are open to the outdoors (Upper Peninsula of Michigan)
