What tank pet should I get?

Cresteds are a great choice! Congrats on your new pet, it's adorable. Nice colors.
Didja think of a name yet?

Haha--yes. His name is Sir Kerzmiggle Mundercrunch. I made a little name tag for his tank. It's great because no one in my family can remember the name, so we all call him something different.

He looks like a Kerzmiggle.

Very cute gecko, and a looks like a sweet tank too. Post pics of the whole thing?

I have had fiddler, red claw, & moon crabs in the past, and I have always liked the idea of getting land crabs. What specific kinds do you recomend, and where do you even acquire them from? Have you had vampire crabs before?

I currently have one Armases cinereum, a small U.S. species with arboreal tendencies. I've had fiddlers and land hermits at times in the past too. Being a college student in a dorm at the moment, I'm not supposed to have anything overly terrestrial. But I'm looking forward to when I get an apartment so I can try Geosesarma, Cardisoma (had some good times with wild ones in Florida), and... maybe eventually breed fiddlers in kiddie pools. Long-term project...

The German forum panzerwelten.de is the best online crab-keeping resource I've ever seen, although my computer's translations tend to be entertainingly flawed.
