“Land crabs”

[Jimbob]

Just wondering who’s keeping any land crabs out there excluding vampires/hermits(no hate, love them both and plan to keep some, but they’re more commonly seen these days).

Or any aquatic(salt or freshwater) that occasionally come out of the water?

Personally, I’ve been wanting to find cardisoma guanhami, but they seem to only be available certain times of the year.

that’s amazing! I’ve seen them being sold here, but thought they were illegal in the US?

I definitely have been slowly planning out a few builds for some larger species of landcrabs, I almost picked up multiple different species last year, but havent jumped in fully yet to the building part on anything yet. I also may also want use these few othe large tanks for even more species of Geosesarma hah.

I gotta get some geosesarma at some point! Curious, what species other than geosesarma were you thinking of getting?

Pretty sure the wife would feed me to it in my sleep.

I have a tank that’s been set up for Gecarcinus for a bit, but I am thinking of potentially building a set up for some Metasesarma. I also have a group of Lepidothelphusa that are proving very difficult to breed and seem to have higher fatality rates than WC Geosesarma.

Very cool. I’m looking into vampire crabs, planning on building their tanks soon, hopefully!
