Tank Question Tank setup recommendations?
i have a 29 gallon tank and 3 hermit crabs, 2 of them hide most of the time and barely come out, i’m kinda just asking for tips on what to do to make it better for them / wondering why they won’t come out.

Help! Heating issues
Help! Im having heating issues. I have a 29 gal tank with glass lid and 2 heating pads with thermostats. They are having issues staying at temp. Ive been using an electrical fireplace to warm the room because i had just 1 mat and now even with the second mat its not helping. Its 4 ft away from a window so is that it? Do tanks need to be insulated? Idk what to do im struggling to keep temp up. It sticks at 77-78 and then will drop to 75 and sometimes a tad under. I have an app so im monitoring it. But its having issues retainging heat. Our upstairs is usually 70-73ish. I cant close the door as our cats has a litter box and foor in there. Any suggestions???? My mats are an Ipower 8x18in 24 wat and a 10-20 gal reptitherm. I really wanna make it work with them so i dont have to pay more money for a different heat mat 😭😭

Questions I need help with shells!
I inherited/rescued 2 hermit crabs from a family member. They came back from the beach with them in a mesh crab cage and thought they could live there forever. I took them and made them a place to live. I’ve been doing good so far but I know they need more shells. Where can I find a good but not overpriced place to get more shells. I have pictures of them in their current shells with a measuring tape to get advice in the post.
