sorry i haven't been on in a while. my hermie still hasn't moved. the temperature and humidity is at the right level. im almost certain she is dead

Does the tank smell like really strong icky fish? If not, she isn't dead. She's just doing whatever she feels like doing when you're asleep. I've had crabs that get up, do their thing, and go back to the same spot by the morning - it means that they like something about that specific spot: its temperature, its humidity, its something. For some reason, that spot is everything they want.
