    Let me know how many crabs do you think there will be in a few months? I'm guessing around 93, but it certainly could be more. If you get close (within 5 + or -) I'll shout out in that future video! Enjoy, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

      They are thriving and enjoying the beautiful nature you’ve created. You are the god to them.👍 I’d love to ask you to try becoming the first one to breed this frog, that I have been planing a special enclosure but don’t have time to materialize it. Is there any way to send you a direct message?

    During my research for a pet, I've come across many articles on how bad the hermit crab keeping is. Between being mostly wild caught, having poor set ups, and keeping a group organism in a solitary environment, I'd love to see your take a proper set up for hermit crabs. I believe with your reach and expertise/research ability, you could make a hobby altering set-up.

      I saw many thousands of hermit crabs on the beaches in Costa Rica. Way more than I saw growing up in Florida. On the Pacific side they live where the coconut and wild almond trees start so they have shade during the day. They're awesome for cleaning up anything edible on the beach, at night they roam around more. They definitely like heat and humidity. And they live on beaches that can be pretty rocky with not much sand. They like driftwood too.

    Well, it shows how healthy you keep your habitats that the animals feel comfortable enough to breed. The fact that they're breeding prolificly just shows you're a master at this. I've always been amazed at how incredible your setups are.

    The update I've been holding my breath for! This is my favorite build. Something about the dark lava rock, twisted (yet cohesive) spider wood, dark green foliage, and black water is so beautiful. It all works together so well. I hope it doesn't get dismantled and another creature goes inside, but I would imagine it's necessary to tear it apart to get all the inhabitants out. Oh well, sometimes beauty isn't meant to last!

    It really was like looking through a telescope or something like that. Into all the little hidey holes and crevices. You did a really good job designing this environment for them. It’s obvious just because they’ve quadrupled their numbers. I love their bright green eyes too. Can’t wait to see how you improve this set up!

    116 crabs will be present in 3 months. The rate of growth will increase as the population increases so its exponential growth. That’s about all I remember from calculus 25 years ago.

    • @elephantofdoom
      @elephantofdoom 20 дней назад +13

      However as the population increases competition for food will increase which will both slow the breeding rate and lead to more cannibalism

  • @craby6449
    @craby6449 20 дней назад +15

    usually 1 female breed 20~30 babies, but few of them will be eaten by adults and fish, so i guess about 120~132
    and they don't like to have water puddle in their hide out, and they like to eat some soft leaves and moss
    so they would eat Cryptocoryne, i had planted them as well, and most of them had gone

  • @jimmyjames2022
    @jimmyjames2022 18 дней назад

    Nice job counting in crevices! I suspect that you can view the crabs with a red light at night and it won't scare them as much as a white light does. For catching insects at night I've used something as simple as red bike lights. Instead of hiding they just sit out in the open, and you can easily sneak up on them. Provided you don't move quickly and disturb the air.

    I kept 3 crabs when I was a teen but they got out and dried up on my bedroom carpet. Now I'm 42, and would love to keep them again but in Sweden I can't buy any at a pet store. What are your views on ordering animals online through the post? Risks, welfare, etc?

    • @arsonsnail
      @arsonsnail 16 дней назад

      most exotic animal keepers order online at some point! it’s honestly far better than buying from a pet store, because at a pet store the pets have already been shipped to the store and are dealing with the stress of the journey in a transitional environment (one with sub-par care more times than not) causing them to already be extremely stressed and exposed to disease once they get to your home

    I love seeing the crabs' home up close at their scale! My guess was about 100.

    This was awesome! I think you’re going to end up with 115 crabs!
