Help! I'm overrun with CRABS! Meet my VAMPIRE CRABS (Geosesarma)! 

CRABS! Sorry, it's been a few weeks; thanks so much for watching! Remember to answer today's Question of the day! Special thanks go to all my Reptiliatus Channel Patrons for helping make videos like this possible! For more information on how to support this channel, check out www.patreon.com/Reptiliatus

Room tour next 🙏🏾

Man that was a wholesome video! ☺ So awesome to see you get so many babies from both of the species already! I'm hanging for the next video update on the new tanks for them! Thanks for the shout out as well! I really, really appreciated it! ❤

I love crabs, I used to have hermit crabs when I was a teenager. I'm a ferret mom now, I've had 10 ferrets in my lifetime so far.

They are so small and cute 😊

6:18 oh my gosh, she has the cutest little smile shape on her back and it makes the most ADORABLE LITTLE FACE EVER!!!!!!! 😂🥹😆 It reminds me of the underside of a manta ray

The hi yellow vampire crab has a cute smiley face on her back! Nature is amazing. =0)

The purple ones are cool but I gotta pick the red devils. I like the red bodies with yellow/white eyes, so cool. That poster is awesome. Seeing how many different colors there are. Very cool animal and good video.

I've been wanting vampire crabs for a few years now and I'm so jealous! I could not choose between the 2, they are both stunning! I love them!

Is this an example of failing successfully? 😂 Love them all! Thanks for sharing more amazing critters with us. ❤

I can't choose which one is my favorite. They are like dart frogs, I want them all! So stinkin' cute.

OK.... You are slowly convincing me. Super cool crabs, man!

I looooooove the purple ones. I always enjoy seeing your animals but I think these are some of my favorites you keep.

I love the red devils! The colors are just amazing and the white eyes are so cool

Thank you for finally posting the vampire crab video! It is awesome 🙂

How exciting!!! I would love to have them in the future. One project at a time.

pleeeeeaaaasssseee do more crab videos, i've seriously been considering getting them for some time

I'm so happy to see this upload! I was looking forward to see how your vampire crabs were doing. Also can't wait to see if you set up a paludarium for them in the future! :D If I had to pick, I'd say I really like all the vampire crab colorations but the red really does pop!! thank you for the great video~

I have to tell you, my kids are 2 and 4 and they LOVE your videos! Especially my 2 year old daughter! You and Tarantula Kat have taken over our tv! Thank you so much for what you do!

I like red Devils crab bcause their colour are fantastic

Amazing Video with lots of insight on the species (as usual)! I've owned and bred Geosesarma dennerle myself and ran into the same thought process, about the deli cups and raising them individually. I found that the bigger "problem" about raising as many as possible weren't even the adults but usually the crablets themselves, that do cannibalise each other after a certain size difference establishes. In bins similar in size that you have I've successfully raised offsprings of up to 3 different females (at the same time and yes I had lots of space problems too haha) and with all that competition there still grew up about 60 to the size of around 1cm when I was able to more easily separate them and move them into different "school bins". My crabs absolutely loved hunting crickets and one of the males I had once even hunted a subadult migratory locust. They are absolute beasts! Ps. the female G. dennerle at 12:59 is pregnant (I don't know when that clip was taken as at 6:16 that same individual does not appear to be pregnant). Also the female at 16:54 is pregnant too!

They are both so cute...but my favorite color is purple and the color contrast of the purple and yellow is amazing so I would probably pick those

Those crabs are so cool! We actually carry them at our store and find them so entertaining to watch in their paludarium setup!

Yellow for sure! I think that poster needs to be your new check list!

It's so fun to breed vampire crabs! I have G. bogorensis (which really just be a variation of G. dennerle?), and I wish I had space for more of the species. They are so beautiful, and I'm glad you're having such success with them.

🦀🦀🦀 new reptiliatus upload 🦀🦀🦀

indoor ecosystems is going to make me go broke making paludariums really want some of the denerle. the purple with the yellow are so nice

I like the red devil vampire crabs the most. Red is my favorite color, you see. It stands to reason I would like the red ones more.

I can’t decide!! I’ve been researching these little guys ❤

Purple is my favorite color. So you can only assume which one I prefer. The red are cool too.

They are such gorgeous colors! Great video!

I’ve got the same problem with my Bombinas right now. I’ve got like 70+ tadpoles and more on the way lol.

Absolutely love them!

Another great video, going off topic a bit have you ever considered doing a reef tank ? After keeping reptiles for many years myself I recently had a reef tank come into my possession and as someone who enjoys trying to naturally replicate environments for reptiles trying to replicate a coral reef has been the most interesting and rewarding experience I’ve had in animal husbandry plus nothing can beat the beauty of a coral reef. You’re very talented at terrarium design and I wondered if you’ve ever thought about being a reefer

Ok! I need to get some...most...ALL of the different types of Vampire Crabs!!! So amazing! QotD: Of the two you raise, maybe the Purple? Tough call - but then you had to pull out that chart! WOW...💜

I love them

Orin Mcmonigle is a treasure! His books are authoritative.

Those posters are sweet!

CRABS! PANIC! xD

I like the purple and yellow crabs❤

Red Devils for shure! Would you do a video on your platstic bins setup? How do you provide heat and UVB when it’s needed🧐

well I have to say that of the two i prefer the hagens, as I actually keep those, they are really cool crabs, and I've seen that they are great climbers, one of them has been living un top of the leaves of a chamadorea palm for a few days. I recommend a more tall enclosure if you can find it. Of the vampire crabs in general my favourite is the rouxi, they are more territorial and a bit fossorial, but the colors alone make up for it. Highly recommend them

I like the red ones. Great video as always

Very cool video 👌🏻❤️

I would love the really purple ones cause purple is my favorite color💜

Thank you for another great video! When I saw them in the pet store I didn't realize you could keep them in bins like isopods 🤯 I'd say purple, as an artist the yellow and purple contrast is just 👌

They are both cute.

Love me some crabs! Great video as always! How's ghorme sabzi doing btw? :)

cant wait to see your set up when you build it

Good luck Brother I raise Red Devils..Purple Vampires...and Rainbow Vampires here in Az. And have well over 100...

Thanks great video

The vampire crabs are so cool & colorful! How do you choose. I live them both red & purple are my favorite colors.

"Is Having Crabs More embarrassing than aids??.. for the Moment Probably" - Hannibal Burress

Damn. I want crabs now 😂😂

I’ve been having an issue with my stenos like at the start of this video since February. No worries about the babies being eaten there but I sold off a bunch and may have more babies now than I have sold 😂😂😂

I think that the first species looks better, just because I have seen the second other times. I thought that all vampire crabs looked like the second species. Also I didn’t know that they are cannibalistic. They are always advertized as social.

I can’t pick a favorite but I know I would like to have both.

Book collection tour in the future?

Awesome

I love the purple claw crabs a lot!

Damn I’m totally into darts and heavily into geckos but now I think I want a pair of these crabs lmao 😩

Hello great video information Dayyan

Question of the day: I gotta go with the purples! It’s my favorite color, and our wedding colors were actually purple and yellow!

Bro gots the crabs lmao

They look so yummy I love them

Question of the day: The Red Vampire crabs. That red color is just so intense and they obviously did not have a problem producing offspring in captivity ;).

Definitely red

Hello I recently got vampire crabs and Im looking for a way to identify the different types. I saw you had a book at beginning of the video? Of if you know other references. i knew the shop keeper but they were just sold as random. I picked out 2f1m of the solid purple (I think) but I'd love away to identify different types. Book, Website, other reference???

You have to pair the with morning geckos please 😊

Hi dayan

QOTD: I like the red devil more for their beautiful infernal coloration

My fav is the purple crabs I wish i could keep them but i LIVE In Australia😢😅

You should try to keep some very small monitor lizards species

Are you going to be selling the red devil babies after they develop some more?

Hey Dayyan! Do these crabs need UVB lighting? Thanks!

Awesome. Can't wait to see the paludarium build content. Don't branch off into public lice.

Purple

💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜

you can send some to me.....I've been trying to get some of those for a couple years now.....

Could i have the link to the tub and substrate?

Hey Dayyan where do u get their tubs from or what is the company?

Tell me the yellow marking on that one purple crab doesn't vaguely resemble the Wu-Tang logo?

Do you sell any??? Where can I buy and how much do they range

vampire

How often do you change the water for the crabs?

Do they live in fresh or salt water ?

Lets see what happened🧐🤨🥰😇

Babies look like ticks..... 😶

Draw😂

Send 2 over to me lol

Not something you should really want to put on social media!! Lol!!

Why don’t you just move the adults and not the babies? That would save you time buddy
