New hermit crab tank

Post by giannaw » Tue Nov 01, 2022 1:31 pm

Hello! I’m trying to purchase a new tank, I need a 30-35 gallon! I currently have a 25 gallon tank, it’s almost like a fish tank with a screen lid (covered in Saran Wrap). I want to either purchase a glass lid or buy a whole new tank. Please give me suggestions!

Local buy and sell pages/ sites are the best for used tanks.

I’m asking for advice: what’s best for humidity

I've always used screen lids covered in plastic, they work the same way as glass.

The difference between 25 and 30 isn't going to be big enough to justify the cost honestly. I'd suggest trying for at least a 55 if you're going for the space.

I have three hermit crabs, the biggest one is the size of a golf ball (maybe a little bit smaller)
