Velcro for Climbing?
So, my thermonater and hygrometer were on the wall via velcro. however, during the process of adding more substrate, I accidentally buried the back parts that stuck to the wall, so I just temporarily used extre velcro I had in my house, but instead of just cutting up the exact amount, I used extra. ...

Constant sand + dirt in water bowl but can't clean
My fresh water dish has tons sand+dirt in it, but I can't take it out to clean because one of my crabs is under there(Or at least I can assume, I hear chirping + noises from that corner) Whether it's molting or not is a mystery, but I'm fairly sure if I pick up the dish it can mess up the crab's mol...

Re: Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
Alright, so good news, sort of. They are probably regular food mites, because according to others in the thread they resemble the appearance of one, and after a simple check up on the tank, a huge swarm of the mites were discovered. I can never be 100% sure that there are no crab mites, however I've...

Re: Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
Yes, they dont have any significant body parts, just one big blob.
If they are food mites, then is it natural to find them outside the tank, and on the shells?

Re: Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
Took the pictures.
I'm showing about 2-3 inches of the top of my cage for somewhat of a scale.

Re: Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
While I cant take the picture right now, I'll do it ASAP. Either my eyesight is bad, but they do not have any notable features. They just look like moving dots. No legs, no thorax/abdomen shapes, just a tiny circle moving everywhere. On the food dish, I dont see them making rafts, though I could be ...

Re: Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
Thanks for the ones who have helped so far, just would like to point out that I've read the guides before posting this, I still can't find out if they are Booklice or Mites. I dont think they are harmful at this point(I have yet to see one on my crab besides its shell), but I want to make sure of wh...

Can't tell if Pests are Booklice or Mites
I have pests in my tank, and if it isn't an infestation already, it's on the brink of one for sure. What the bugs look like: - All white/tanish - Very small in size, possibly less than a millimeter and barely noticeable - Too small to identify any other properties Locations of bugs: - Most are on th...
