Finally Finished My Terrarium!
Finally Finished My Terrarium!
Well I did take time a and a lot of tweaking, but I have completed my hermit crab tank for the most part. I want to add more in the future, but for now this is a good start. This is a 36x18x18 Exoterra tank. It’s completely sealed with foil, and uses both a heating pad and heat lamp. Thankfully even with the light, the humidity is usually 78%+. One side of my tank is about 75 degrees, with the other side being 80 degrees. Feel free to ask any questions!

Oh, looks nice. I love the jungle vibe it has, and I'm sure the EE is also helping maintain proper humidity as well!

Looks nice! I've been thinking about getting a couple of those coconuts that hang. Everyone seems to have them! haha.

Re: Finally Finished My Terrarium!
Looks awesome!!! I'd skip the heat lamp and use another UTH or heat cord though.

I definitely tried to go that route. But sadly my bedroom can get below 63 degrees and the UTH alone was warming the tank to 67 degrees. I couldn’t find a feasible way to not use heat lamps. Though the lights are not constantly on, just briefly to bring the temperature up if needed. Hope this explains my situation!
