    HUGE thank you to Dayyan from Reptiliatus for the suggestion, he was right I absolutely LOVE these. Check out his channel here - www.youtube.com/@Reptiliatus

    So glad you decided to get these animals, friend! You’re gonna do amazing with them! I’m telling you right now, vampire crabs are the next big thing! They are fascinating to observe, very easy to keep and breed in captivity and do so well in a similar terrarium you would keep a poison frog in, except with a 75% land to 25% water feature. So so neat!

    Very interesting little guys. Now you’ve got my grandson wanting vampire crabs! I have the feeling as he gets older (he’s three) that Grammies house is where he’s going to keep all the pets his mama won’t let in the house. Like jumping spiders and vampire crabs and other assorted oddities. Thanks for making this channel so kid friendly and educational. My grandson loves his “spider lady”.

    I saw some small Japanese crabs at a reptile expo and I really wanted them, I love crabs, but after hearing that they only live for 2-3 years and that they require a filter, I changed my mind. I was surprised to see that you didn't get a filter for your little crabs. I totally would have preferred scooping water out and adding in new water than having to deal with filters.

    • @tarantulakat
      @tarantulakat  Місяць тому +6

    Congratulations! Vampire crabs are fun. Because your water feature is still and not creating a spray, you will have to mist the enclosure very often. I might advise adding a small shallow water dish on the other side of the enclosure. Vampire crabs need to drink often or they will dehydrate.

    heck ya crabs, oh and kat telling male and female crabs apart is easy, you flip them over and look at the under side of the shell if it forms a point like a light house it's male if it's rounded like a rock it's female, it'll make sense when you see it.
