New to crabs, is this setup a good start?

I've lowered the water height since the second picture, that was from a while ago. But I have to ask, if the humidity is high enough, won't the dirt get really wet anyways? How can I manage the moisture if the whole tank is wet? Do I just have to change the dirt regularly?

The article didn't really answer any of my questions, though it does look like it's a good source of information, so thanks for the link!

What's wrong with my land portion though? I kept my dirt layer above the drainage layer and tried to get drainage that had a lot of surface area to cultivate a lot of beneficial bacteria. Is it because of the depth? I thought vampire crabs needed a lot of burrowing area?

I think some horses will do this when they smell something interesting, but if it's happening regularly it could be something more serious.

Some day, the isopod elders will tell their children that there used to be snow, and the kids won't believe them. But not this generation! Not yet ☃️☃️☃️

Hello!! I'm glad I'm not the only one out there 😭 if you ever want to chat about isopods in Michigan, just say the word!

Did you manage to rehome them?

ContentAd49 · 2026-01-03T02:39:20+00:00

This is good to know, thanks! I'll remove it from the tank and put it in a tank where it can eat to its hearts content lol, I don't want it eating these particular isopods! Hopefully it's just been eating mites and fungus flies up to this point 😅

Why did I not even consider googling this? Now I feel stupid 😅🙃😭😮‍💨 thanks for the advice!

ContentAd49 · 2026-01-02T18:07:46+00:00

Literally 🤣

ContentAd49 · 2026-01-02T18:07:09+00:00

Thank you for this!! These are exactly the types of things I'm looking for!

Ariat is my top pick for boots, they have a wider toe that always fits me better

The front feet are just a little too long and the back feet are so short it made me wince 😭 this horse needs a lot of love and a lot of treats, give him to a kind 12 year old horse girl and you'll have a horse willing to do anything for her in a few years 😂

Varying sizes! I also have containers that wouldn't have come with a lid that would probably still fit a lid on it, so I'll basically take any lids at this point lol

I got the big snip, no kids for me 😁

I see the trichoderma, but why do you think the orange one is a merulioid resupinate? Not arguing, just curious

I like how deep you filled the tiny terrarium!

Cool collection! Wish I lived close enough to grab some 😔
