How humid should my hermit crab tank be?

We have a 32 Gal Hermit crab tank with 4 crabs. The temp is always between 75 and 80 and the humidity is around 80 to 95 % We have both types of water and lots for them to do. I just want them to be happy
Answers:
75-80% I keep a little match book in the lid to keep it open enough so the humidity doesn't get too high. If you have a myspace account go to groups and join the hermit crab group! I did and they have helped me a ton! Good luck!
They are happy,find out what the sea tempurature is and try to keep it around there.
Target range is 80-90% so you're doing pretty good.

  1. 80-90% is a little high as it will encourage mold and mildew growth. 75-80% is optimal. Be sure to take out fresh fruits and veggies daily to prevent mold, feed plenty of protein sources, calcium sources, and Zeaxanthin sources. Visit Crab Street Journal for more info. Very helpful group of crab lovers there.
