Re: 10 gallon tank question
I only could afford a 10 gallon tank. I mixed beach sand and EE about 6 inches. Have driftwood water bowls etc. Not much land area at all. I am not the creative type, and was hoping someone could help me design a second level maybe using suction cups ir anything to better design my tat. Please help...

Re: Type of tank
not sure how to post an image but the terrarium has a front lip on. thought that would be easier for my daughter to get in to feed and change water. We have plenty of other pets as well as farm animals and wouldn't get spending as much time researching if I didn't think it was a pet that was just g...

Re: new to crabbing molting question
Okay so digging them up a can still be harmful rather you are digging around them or not. This is because you can collapse the tunnels around them causing suffocation. My largest takes about 5 months to molt. They've molted many times by themselves in the wild. They know what to do and will come up ...

Re: ? species new hermie new crabber
Definitely a PP. All crabs (no matter species) have different personalities and they can come in a variety of colors. Shy Guy never likes to be seen and Digger acts just as you described yours.

Re: Dead crab out his shell in FW pool
I have no clue. Wish I could help. I would recommend getting a set of gauges. Feel test doesn't tell anything. My tanks always feel the same but if you look at gauges, it fluctuates. Temp range 78-85 and humidity range 78-90.

Re: Minimum size for ISO?
An isolation tank is a must and must mimic the main tank in temp, humidity, substrate depth and consistency, think of it as a small version of the main tank for new purchases, sick or molting crabs. You can get away with not having an iso for a little while but it's highly recommended and very bene...

Re: Dead crab out his shell in FW pool
Sorry for your loss. Other than gauges and shells, it sounds like your doing everything else right. You can get a cheap digital gauge at Wal-Mart. I think $10 at most. Make sure you do a salt test first. You can get a bag of shells from Jo Ann's cheap too. Many have done this but most of my shells c...

Re: Minimum size for ISO?
I'd say 10 gal minimum as long as you can fit SW, FW, food, extra shells, and a hidey in there comfortably... ISO is just what it implies. No need for extras. You could get a thin corner shower caddy (1 in I think) and netting for shell shop. This will leave more floor space.... Sub should be at lea...

Re: Hobby Lobby Cholla Wood
I've been using it for over a year with no problems. You can zip tie a couple of pieces together for a longer length. I always try to match the diameter and the holes if I can so that it looks like one piece.

Substrate?
Hi, I'm a so confused! I'm new to the forum but not to crabbing. I've been using straight EE for about 5 years now....I've never had any problems with this but I read somewhere that straight EE was bad for the crabs. I have noticed that shells do loose there beautiful coloring (gloss, shine, top coa...
