I bought a little heater for the first time because the situation changed and one of my tanks is getting too cold.It hardly did anything. So now I'm trying to heat the tank with a conventional lamp/lightbulb. I covered the glass shade with tinfoil to keep the light in. At first it got a bit too hot ...

He has modified gills that absorb oxygen from humidity. So you have to find a way to keep the tank humid or they will struggle to su...

Thanks.I've got one tank on the floor. No matter how much I heat up the room, the heat rises and it stays cool.I've been meaning to move it next to the other tank anyway.

Does anyone know what the lower range of temperature is survivable for a purple pincher?At what temperature do they start getting stressed?

One of the things they want to regulate in drones is how they respond if contact is lost.I've heard of people losing expensive drones that got too far away and in the absence of further instructions, they kept doing what they were last told to do.Imagine if they crashed into an aircraft or a person ...

It probably wouldn't harm him.But how would you like it if someone did that to you? The crab has dignity. Not a toy.

Crabber85What kind of heater was that? Is it the same kind used for crabs? It seems like this problem happens periodically.Do heaters have a safe life span?

Sorry to hear that.
