Hello
We are new to the hermit carb world. I have been using the bottle hermit carb freshwater and saltwater for our two hermit carb’s drinking “ponds”.
My question is what should I use to mist the tank and keep the bedding moist?
The people at Petsmart told me to use our regular bottled water.
What type of water should I mist the tank with?

Welcome! Unfortunately most things marketed for hermit crabs aren't good for them. You should use a dechlorinater such as Prime. Then add Instant Ocean to dechlorinated water for their salt water. If you must mist your tank use the dechlorinated fresh water.M.trangtnguyen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 11:33 pmHello
