Question
do i have to have a heat lamp to take care of my hermit crabs b cuz i dont have 1

Answer
No but some sort of heat source is important. Whether it is a lamp or an under the tank heater. Hermit crabs need to be in an environment that is between 74 and 82 in both temperature and humidity. Without these two things being done correctly, most crabs die within a year.
