I am in search of #geosessarmanotophorum #whitemandarin #vampirecrabs in the US. I have a breeding program that is producing offspring. I would like to keep my genetics strong by adding new crabs. I’m willing to purchase or trade from my stock. I prefer to drive to you in lieu of shipping.

I had this idea that the home my #vampirecrabs were in was temporary and it is. But their new home I wasn’t feeling the build, and space is becoming an issue. I kept putting it off for a long time, but I realized I ultimately don’t want to build that for them. I want to do the big tank for them.

Another cute Short. I think shorts are all I’m going to have time for right now. But I’d like to add a Friday Live feed in the near future. Probably for the babies. My adults don’t come out much when I’m working from home on Fridays. #vampirecrabs #GeosesarmaNotophorum

Having not seen any #vampirecrabs in weeks I’ve finally caught one sleeping below a seed pod. They are way more reclusive than I expected, so the #paludarium is mostly a glass box for plants 99% of the time.

The same rectangular glass enclosure from a slightly different angle, showing the black background panel and open top, with various boxes and items in the background.

Doing prep for the final #paludarium for the #vampirecrabs, but I really wanted to get more technical for this build, so I’ve got a false wall to hold all the various devices. Getting to this point took a long time because this was filthy and the old background was stuck in good. Used vivs amirite

If you found me because you are interested in tropical plants, I may eventually migrate those posts over to Crabbiescapes.bsky.social to mirror my Instagram that is still active for now. If you are interested in #geosessarma #vampirecrabs you should Definitely follow me there!

I plan on posting some Throwback posts to introduce my Mandarin White #vampirecrabs to Bluesky. But in the meantime, here’s my newest short on YouTube.

Hello Bluesky! I am an #invertibrate keeper in Texas with a passion for #geosessarma #vampirecrabs. I have a baby start up YouTube which I upload to here and there. Be patient, I’m getting better. 😬 And for now, I also have an Instagram. Though I hope to fully migrate here eventually. (1/2)

Hard to notice but they are using the water section which is awesome. Right next to the suction cup for the temperature probe. #vampirecrabs #vampirecrab

Took a little impromptu hiatus from social media, but the vampire crab of good vibes wanted to pass on some good vibes. Got a breeding trio so hopefully I’ll have some for sale locally next year! #vampirecrab #vampirecrabs
