Hello I am in need of help with my future Vampire Crab habitat.
I already have a tank, and initially was thinking of having the tank 50/50 for water and soil. The water side would have a heater and filter (interested in Exo Terra Turtle Cliff)
The solid side would have soil on top of a hydroballs (separated by garden sheeting). However I fear this may not work as I believe it would clog any filter I put in the tank.
I changed my mind and am now thinking of just putting gravel on a slope so there is land sticking out of the water.
Would appreciate help answering whether I can have sloped gravel as land, wether I need a heat lamp or heat mat for crabs, (I live in Canada) any help would be appreciated as I’ve looked at as many threads about Vampire crabs as I could find but didn’t feel I had all the knowledge I needed before getting the animal.
