Vampire crabs are a terrestrial species that can get 1-3” that are native to the islands and coastal regions of Southeast Asia. Due to their active nature they will need a large enclosure. They will also require constant access to both fresh and saltwater to submerge themselves in. Vampire crabs can live 2-4 years. Even though they don't live too long, they are still a big commitment pet. Vampire crabs are best suited as display pets as they are highly territorial, semi-aggressive, and strictly nocturnal. Though they have perky personalities, they are easily stressed and will readily pinch when threatened or handled.
