Crabitat
So I’m wondering how much substrate I should have I have 5 crabs varying from the size of an almond to the size of a golf ball, I was thinking doing a gradual slop might be best to let them pick what dept they enjoy the best, I have what u believe is a 40 gallon tank, not positive but if anyone has any tips on keeping in humidity I’d be greatful my tank didn’t come with a lid and I’ve been using my mother in laws house sign for the top it didn’t go over well

Re: Crabitat
Your substrate should be at least three times as deep as your largest crab. If you do a slope, the shallowest part should be that deep.
I didn't have a lid for my first two tanks - I used saran wrap (plastic wrap) with a corner or two vented for air flow.

Re: Crabitat
Okay I’ll add lots more then and then possibly a second level to accommodate my decorations and climbing stuff I wish I could show you my crabitat, I’ve been keeping a wood piece over the second side of the tank but not the whole thing as I do have a heat lamp and didn’t want it to melt any plastics
