  • Ciao ragazzi!
    In this video I’m building a huge paludarium for my teenage vampire crabs. While I was building I received a call from a friend asking me if I wanted some mourning geckos. Of course I said yes!

    Awesome job! What water filtering system did you install? Did you think of adding a small trickle of water flowing down the larger branch?

    • @terraquaman
      @terraquaman  16 днів тому

      Thanks !
      I failed to mention it in the video but I added a small power head with a sponge. Just to kept the water flowing.
      Yeah I crossed my mind. Maybe in the future I’ll add something like that. 😀

    Dude this looks EPIC. I would be so proud of myself if I made something like this. You for sure outdid yourself. The pieces of wood/stump you round and the rocks were amazing and really the perfect fit. The one rock that has a face, I thought it was a skull at first. Why does it have black spots? They look like eye sockets.
    Also the method you used for the silicone spray foam background looks really good way less time and hassle than the "regular" method of spray foam first, cure, carve, silicone, pat eco earth/moss, cure again. And again with the foam pads, then potting fabric, leca balls with no mesh in between, and then the substrate. There are no set hard rules just an overall guide of how you can do the setup and man, you nailed it.
    I really enjoyed this video and fell in love with this enclosure.

    • @terraquaman

      The rock is called flint stone and sometimes they are white on the outside and black on the inside.

      Right now the crabs are too big for the geckos to eat theme and the same the other way around. How ever if they have babies it’s a different story so I have to keep an eye open and separate the babies from the adults the in future.

    • @terraquaman
      @terraquaman  29 днів тому

      I get your frustration!
      Breeding vampire crabs can sometimes take time.
      Maybe there is something you can do to stimulate breeding? Maybe you have 7 males (unlikely).
      Do you have enough hiding places and vegetation?
      Are you familiar with @indoorecosystem on UA-cam?
      Maybe his videos can help you.
      Good luck !

    Maybe i missed it but how did the female get pregnant again after the male died? I currently have a pregnant female but i don't think the eggs are fertile (because she hasn't seen a male in ages) Anyway, awesome video, cheers from SmallScaleTales🤍🌱

    • @jordandobson9600

      The female can probably retain sperm

    • @terraquaman
      @terraquaman  Місяць тому +2

      Ah, interesting question! Once a female vampire crab gets pregnant, she can lay eggs multiple times without needing to mate again. After mating once, she stores sperm, which she can use to fertilize multiple batches of eggs.
      I hope the eggs are fertile !!
      Thank you so much!
