I’m thinking she’s either a G. sp. marble or krathing, but could be any undescribed species too.
Unfortunately I got her in my batch of 3 from a shop, and the other two crabs are G. rouxi males. I didn’t realize she wasn’t the same until they all went into the same paludarium a couple weeks ago. 😕
I keep trying to catch her but no luck! She seems to be doing okay but if I can find more rouxi she will have to be taken out.
Received a batch of Euathlus sp last week and been babying these babies, but today I noticed this one beginning to curl the rearmost legs and wasn’t able to walk properly.
This T is *half an inch* and I’ve never had to pull off an I-C-U situation with such a small sling before. Started off with giving water, and right now (as I’m typing with one hand on my old af phone) the sling is eating the guts of a very small mealworm I cut and squeezed. Like an awful freezie-pop.
This one is an E sp smaragd tiger. Arachno-god help me. 😭
I just brought home these two very tiny Kenyan zebra skinks and introduced them to their new absolutely oversized enclosure today. They’re siblings that were born in January of this year and only around 4” at a stretch. I didn’t think to weigh them but they can’t be more than a medium-sized sharpie pen!
The enclosure they’re in is a 6’ long, 2’x2’ homemade setup with one temperate-humid side and arid-grassland side. They both found their basking spot pretty quickly and aren’t too shy about laying out on it so long as not too much is going on around them outside the enclosure. Both have eaten around 3 Ca+D3 dusted crickets too.
I guess I’m generally posting for any advice a more seasoned keeper could give me on these cuties, and what I can do in the next few months to have them get used to my big smelly ape self and tame them enough that they don’t think I’m trying to catch them when I change their water dish! :)
I don’t know their sexes yet but I have my fingers crossed that they’re sisters. If I end up with two males or a male and female, I’ll split them up. I don’t know if males tolerate one another well, but if they’re 1:1 I don’t want any inbreeding to occur either.
I’ve been looking forever for non-dark colored crabs for my viv and finally lucked out on finding these three with a local pet store. The shop didn’t know what type of VC they were though. One female and two males; I would’ve preferred more females-heavy ratio but this is all they had left. I’m just happy to have ONE female, since most sellers will only sell males!
Maybe Geosesarma rouxi?
Weird question; I have a large 6’x3’x3’ enclosure that I’ve been building up and was planning on keeping as a vivarium with a “main feature” reptile. I like the look and temperament of Bulls, but since I was thinking of also keeping my Hissing roaches in the enclosure as a clean-up crew, I’m actually now wondering if the snake would end up eating all my roaches or is more likely to ignore them!
Not sure if anyone has any experience to share or if it’s a “duh, bull snakes eat anything small enough that moves” kind of deal. I’ve only kept corn snakes and have less experience with these bigger and moodier guys.
