New Crabitat!
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2022 8:46 pm
Just spent all day setting up the new crabitat! Just moved everyone in. This is what it looks like! (everyone seems to be settling in well and is exploring the new digs!)
I read that putting the water dishes by the heat mat can help keep the humidity up by creating more evaporation, so I did that. I'm just a little bit worried about the tubing being near the heat mat but it's ultratherm and it's not super powerful so I think it'll be fine? I also wrapped heat resistant duct tape around all the areas that would be touching the glass. I also put one small piece of tape underneath the tubing near where the tubing branches off into the two pools. I don't think this will cause much heat trapping so I think it should be okay but I wanted to get a second opinion.
