Vampire crabs have got to be one of the coolest creatures you can keep! In this video I’ll be making a Paludarium ecosystem for them that even has a flowing stream! Throughout the tutorial I’ll explain each step as I go so you can have a go at replacing something like this yourself. Enjoy the video!:)

@EmpressOfExile206 9 месяцев назад

I think you may have been ripped off. I just started the vid, but that crab you just showed didnt look like a vamp There are 2 similar freshwater crabs, vampire crabs have bright colored yellow/orange color w/ their purple. There's another more common & similar but much duller crab called a Halloween crab, I think thats what you have based on the 1st shot! They are often mislabeled as vamps to increase their price $. The worst thing is that they need brackish water (or maybe salt can't remember) to breed so they are extreme lvl difficulty to breed in captivity unlike true vamps which readily breed in freshwater 😔

@McCjuggernautOfficial 9 месяцев назад

@DarkChaosMC 9 месяцев назад

I reckon they have a better life out of captivity, but in captivity it’s pretty damn good.

@Tinnerito 9 месяцев назад

@@DarkChaosMC actually. In captivity would be best (as long as conditions are ideal) because small creatures including crabs are often eaten and serve as prey animals, which is the reason why the lifespan will be much shorter than it would be in captivity. I'm sure those crabs would hate to live a life full of worrying about birds, other crabs, parasites, etc.

I hope that door you made is super secure because vampire crabs are escape artists. Also their babies can fit through really small gaps

@IndoorEcosystem 9 месяцев назад

They will push that glass door open without much trouble.

@TerrariumDesigns 9 месяцев назад

The glass door has no sizeable gabs at all. It also is takes some pull to actually open so it will certainly not be pushed open by the crabs aha

@IndoorEcosystem 9 месяцев назад

@@TerrariumDesigns You'd be surprised 😉 I've had them climb the glass hook one leg over the rim of the tank then push the glass lid up with their bodies until they slip out underneath. The smaller ones calm climb glass using small amounts of debris. The adults aren't able to do that but they are damn crafty! I would put a tab of tape on each side just in case 😁 Trust me!!

@@nandoism7731 these toxins gas out so that should not be a problem. It is (should be) safe once cured, but you should be careful not to let it touch your skin when it comes out of the spray can. Serpa Design uses the stuff in his builds as well and his animals are doing well.
