I got a request to post another little tour so I took some shots today since I won't be leaving the house with 12" + of snow and the roads all closed. This isn't everything just a peek at some of the bigger setups.
Here's the main Geosesarma sp. Red Vampire Crab jungle it's a 40 gallon tank with about 3 pairs of adult crabs and several broods of various sized babies anywhere from hatchlings to 1/2" in size.
Crab Pond #1 (left side)
Crab Pond #2 (right side)
This is a 10 gallon tank setup as a vertical with a mossy wall where I put a pair of the red crabs they dug tunnels all through the wall (they love to climb) they recently had their first litter of babies in here.
Here is a mat of Riccia where the baby crabs have been molting, you can see the clear empty molts on the right and left and part of a freshly molted baby down on the bottom in the middle trying to hide.
Here's a baby crab on land, I don't know when they start to get their shocking red color, for now they are the same color as wet peat so I put a red arrow to indicate where to look
This is another 10 gallon crab tank, I only have one female crab in here, I have to catch a male for her out of the big tank if I ever see one.
This is another 10 gallon vertical with a black violin mantis in it, most are tan
Here's the black violin mantis
Here's the tan Violin mantis (in a different terrarium)
This tank is just plants
My Utrics, N. jacquelinae and N. jamban
Lowland Neps
The cloud at the top is the Avicularia avicularia tarantulas house
