I know but if the tank is covered in insulation and a blanket, how does that happen? If I take off the insulation and blanket, then it's too cold.
Can you add another or different heater?

I guess. On the side. The back is already covered with 2 heaters. My husband has an 18" flourescent light that I can use. I will just cut out a length of the insulation that's on the lid to accomodate the light. It won't give off heat though. Which on one hand is good because it won't affect the humidity.

Actually we just put an led light in the lamp i already had. An led is ok, right?

There was a shell change (which is always exciting) but still no signs of eating. Not even the popcorn.

Try bloodworms. My guys go crazy for bloodworms.

I do have dried bloodworms. And actually that's the only thing I saw disturbed a few days ago.

Some people use frozen. If you can get a hold of some of them they might eat them.

My crabs really like the Flukers color darkener thingy which includes freeze dried raisins, cherries, and more

Not in a while. I'll try again. I had been able to watch them eat almost nightly but not for awhile.

How long?

At least a week. Possibly a little longer. They are going in and out of the moss pits. So that's good.

Question though. I have now a uvb light on but since they are usually in hiding during the day, how do they benefit from it? This pic is from this morning but now that I turned the light on, I assume they will go hide. It's their favorite spot, by the edge of the pool up against the heater.

Yup. 5 minutes later they were both under the log. I even put in a branch from our burning bush, which I've read in posts crabs love. Mine ignored it.
