/an/ I don't understand. Suddenly my terrarium beach sand became COMPLETELY WET.

I only use a sponge and a small dish to add water for the hermit crabs. I don't understand how it can come up with this mess.

Maybe beach sand wasn't a good option?

k guys, time to confess.
Who pissed on the hermit crabs?

Can't they hold water in their shells and expel it when they get upset?

I was thinking that maybe the humidity and the vaporation of the water may cause the beach sand absorb every bit of water making this mess.

But I might be wrong.

I'm pretty sure that when I crush hermit crabs, it's really juicy. I bet you think dolphins don't lay eggs, don't you?

They live in the sea so of course they contain water you slowpoke, but they dont randomly expel water from there shells when they are feeling a little under the weather you stupid troll

They don't live in the sea, everyone knows sea-crabs sing. They are hermit crabs, they live in the HERMIT

I think we are getting out of the topic guys.
I just want to know how to prevent this from happening again. I didn't take a lot of beach sand last time I went from vacations.

HAY GUYZ HOW DO I KEEP MY SPECIAL SAND DRY FOR MY KRABZ? LOL ITS ALL WET AND I DONT KNOW WHY LOL DUUUUUURRRRRRRR

I will now use the power of science to explain what has happened.

Intermolecular forces between the sand and the water caused the water to be pulled out of the sponge and into the sand. Normally, water is held in a sponge because the water is attracted to a sponge more than it is attracted to air. Sand is different from air however. Because of its molecular nature and high surface area it provides lots of nice surfaces for water to bond too. This effectively means water in the sand is at a lower pressure than water in the sponge. Since fluids move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, the water left the sponge and entered the sand.

To fix this coat the sand in a hydrophobic material.

Or, put the sponge on a bowl or something.

All very plausible, but it would take PINTS of water to make the sand as wet as in the pic, assuming it was dry to begin with. My guess is someone pissed in his crab tank.

The sponge was always inside the bowl. :(

your crab summoned a water elemental to try to free itself from your false representation of it's natural habitat. Unfortunately it got the one that works in geological time scales so it's trying to erode the glass as it would limestone. This might take a while

eitehr way a sponge is a bad idea... just a breeding ground for bacteria

But I think hermit crabs love sucking water from a sponge.

Oh well maybe they can handle it without a sponge...
