Compressus PPS reduction log

Purchased 3/25/06 (5 Compressus from Collinsville Reptiles and Pets, in a small, shallow KK on calci sand, no additional heat or humidity)

Crabs were placed in a 10 gallon tank with very shallow, dry sand. Room temp was to be kept at 72F. I numbered their shells 1-5 to help keep track of them.

(more notes to be added later…finding my paper!)

4/1

Woke up to a very hot, sunny morning and the humidity was 30% so I moved the tank away from the window.
I placed it infront of the fireplace with no additional heat or light and it leveled out to 70%

The other tank was also 70%

4/2

Still holding 70%

Grapes were eaten
I moved all the crabs into the same tank (10gal)

4/5 Humidity was holding at 72% but crept up to 80%, it was warm again outside

4/10 moved the 10 gallon to the basement next to the big tank so it could share the lighting. Humidity holding at 78%

4/16 #7 freshly molted in the moss so I moved the other 9 to the 150 gallon tank. Everyone is busy and active.
