What is the volume of your main tank?
10 gallons
How many hermit crabs do you currently have? How big are they?
2 medium (their pretty big tho size of my palm, not hand, from leg to leg) and a smaller one, also my molter who's about the size of roughly a nickle id say. Total- 4
How long have you had the hermit crab(s) that you are concerned about?
Roughly a week and a half.
What substrate or combination of substrates are you using? How deep is it?
Eco Earth and Hermit Crab Sand. Mixed in my main tank is about 4 maybe 4 1/2 inches. My ISO is 3 i think.
What do you feed your hermit crabs?
All kinds of fruits and veggies. also the occasional hard boiled egg (with egg shells)
Do you use distilled, bottled, tap or other types of water?
I use bottled water and for the second water dish bottled watch treated with hermit crab salt water conditioner.
If you are using a dechlorinator, what brand is it? Does it state to remove all heavy metals, chlorine and chloramines?
Hermit Crab Salt Water Conditioner sold with the starter kit.
What brand of sea salt are you using to supply your hermit crabs with salt water?
Hermit Crab Salt Water Conditioner from a stater kit
What heat source are you using and where is it positioned?
It was a desk lamp, now i use a dual heating lamp by zoo meds that i bought at petco that rests on top of the main cages screen lid. (im using the desk lamp for the ISO atm)
Have you calibrated your thermometer(s) and hygrometer so that you can interpret accurate readings?
I'm using the zoo meds strip thermometer and zoo meds humidity gauge from petco. So yes.
What is the air temperature range and humidity inside the tank?
Temp ranges from 70 to almost 90 (70 is its lowest because i have no heater for night time yet.) (0 for when i have the lamp on for a few hours. I may be wrong because the strip thermometer that came with the starter kit is a bit weird to read (the color of the temp that its at). And about 60 to 78 humidity.
What is the highest temperature that the substrate near the heat source reaches?
N/A
Do you have any photos of your tank or hermit crab(s) of concern? If yes, please attach them to your post?
At this moment no sorry.
Even tho my set up is not as good as i think all of yours are. It keeps my crabs pretty happy. Especially my biggest, Zeus. I also have plastic rap on the under side of the lid to help humidity.
