Hi! I'm planning on keeping a couple of Marble Batik Crab and was researching on how to keep terrestrial crabs. I'm planning on keeping them on a 5gallon tank with sand and minimal or no decorations, just a small cork bark for hiding. I just have a few questions.

1. How wet should I make the sand? Or should it be wet at all?

2. Is a small petri dish good for their fresh water bowl?

3. What water should I use for their water bowl? Can I use aquarium water from my fresh water tank?

4. They said that I should mist water in the enclosure to increase the humidity. Can I use distilled water so that the water wont leave white mineral deposits on the glass?

5. How would I clean their waste/poop?

6. Any advice on keeping them?

Thanks!
