Vampire crabs (Geosesarma spp.) have become common as pets in the last few years. They are incredibly beautiful little crustaceans, and have a very fun, yet menacing, name. But is the vampire crab a good pet? And is the vampire crab the best pet crustacean for you?

They reproduce like crazy... and are capable to survive on Vegetation only! I had a hidden survivor for months in my vivarium. Now its overtaken 😂

as someone who wanted to be a marine biologist in my youth, I am so sad I didn't know about these crabs until today. Possibly the cutest crabs around.

The Red-deviled Vampire Crabs are my favourite animals, total. The fact that one is named "Geosarma Larsi" after a photograher (Lars Fernahlt) that first photographed them is awesome to me.

I love how they have a permanent, mildly-aggressive look in their eyes that kinda says, “What’re you looking at? I am smol but mighty— I will destroy you!”

Just absolutely precious. 🥰😂

"Filial Cannibal Crab" is the name of my Nu-Metal band.

I think you forgot a fact about crabs. They are attracted to raves. As soon as you get a glowstick out and start the music, there will be millions of them all of a sudden.

You should do pumpkin patch tarantula next! 🎃

Clint, if you're interested in doing an episode on an actual vampire, Asian buffalo leeches have a base of keepers.
The feeding is apparently either very messy (edible pig blood from butcher/store) or, well, very personal.

As an older hobbyist, I’m familiar with Red Claw and Fiddler crabs, but while they were hardy and terribly attractive, particularly fiddler crabs, extremely difficult to breed in captivity, given that they’re terrestrial adults with larvae who live in brackish river deltas with cyclic salinity shifts.

I love that Clint compliments the animals when they jump, he genuinely seems fascinated with them

Clint always finds a way to make me love things I didn't care about before. Never been a huge crab fan, except for eating. But these crabs are stinkin rad. The colors alone made me fall in love.

One time, as my dad was taking a jumping spider outside, he let the intrusive thoughts win, and rapidly jostled his cupped hands, and the jumping spider bit him. I was like "Why TF would you do that?" I'm convinced he is the only person to ever get bitten by a jumping spider.

I love how you just casually reported temperature parameters in KELVINS lol

My piano tutor used to keep vampire crabs! She was this really neat Christian lady who used to sing opera and play organ for the church. The first time I came to her house I saw something skitter under a cabinet and she dryly told me "oh don't worry, I don't have mice. That's just the crabs, they tend to escape" 😂

Also, would it be possible to provide an “example enclosure” as a reference for the “Best pets?” series? We can get a better idea of what to do, and for the unreasonable one it would be hilarious.
