I was wondering if someone could help me out here...I'd really like to get a land crab, but not a hermit, a "traditional" crab. I know how to care for some species, but all of them need to be able to regularly submerge themselves or burrow in mud, and most of them like brackish or salt water which I especially don't want to mess with right now.
Aren't there any true crabs in the pet trade that can live happily without an amphibious enclosure? If not, I'd still like to know what comes the closest, and like I said, preferably fresh-water.
I believe there are a few crabs commonly kept in a fully terrestrial environment when it isn't actually appropriate for them. I definately don't want to do this.
