My Vampire Crabs Ultimate 5 Waterfalls Paludarium

[@SerpaDesign]

EDIT: The crab seen at 12:16 is likely a different species than what it was sold to me as (G. dennerle). Mixing species isn't ideal and will result in fighting, which I was aware of. I assumed it was just variation in color, but others have said otherwise. I'm going to separate it from the rest of the colony and closely observe the others to see if there are more imposters. Always something new to learn. 😅 So glad to have finally done a build for vampire crabs! What do you think and what else would you put in here? I have a few things in mind already, but I'm curious what you think. Let me know and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Is Bob Ross an American? I've never heard of him. He obviously isn't David Attenborough.

[@33238]

To be completely honest, this is one of the most realistic paludariums i have ever seen. The black lava rock and the sand go really well with bright green plants and mosses, i love how it turned out. I would also say that the lights are at a perfect brightness, they still leave a lot of darkness for the crabs but illuminate the branches and plants sticking out of the background. One last thing is the branches, the way you placed them and made them look cohesive is beyond me. really good job, honestly.

[@efbless]

Builds like this show that Tanner really is an expert!

[@Lylaris_or_Garuk]

Dude, i really respect how you don’t just get an animal off people’s requests alone; you get one when the time is right. A lot of creators wouldn’t do that, and subsequently not be able to care for the animal in question right or in a sustainable manner. That takes some knowledge to do, and understanding of the art you practice Thank you for that; your animal husbandry, and respect for the animals are both just a breath of fresh air..

[@hazonku]

Great to finally see a vampire crab build! I love all the branches they both give the crabs a means to avoid fights AND look amazing!

[@huntercool2232]

You and Dr. Plants are one of the few people who I’ve seen successfully house these amazing creatures! They’re famous for being one of the hardest animals to keep healthy and happy in captivity. Well done!

[@DontBlinkConcertVids57]

?, extremely easy to keep and breed, I had a colony going for a few years about 16 years ago

[@TerraMagnus]

Gorgeous! I’m definitely keen to see a follow up on this build to show the plants grown in and the crabs populating the space a bit more.

[@fernedowns6652]

I agree😊

[@Dori_alex_gaijin_smash]

Man this scape looks UNREAL! Such an underrated line of work.. and such an amazing form of art.

[@JenniferDoRego]

This is a magnificent ecosystem habitat. Museum quality, thatn you for the fantastic video, looking forward to seeing the baby crabs

[@joethompson11]

This is such a Tanner build, combining all the knowledge of paludariums with the waterfall concepts in your terrariums. So good!

[@loriw2661]

A video that 14:36 long contains sooo many hours/days of work! This is beautiful and I love the crabs! 🦀

[@stampinturtles]

Now I understand the week delay. Wow! It’s fabulous! What an amazing feature to display the vampire crabs. 🦀 I love how you create the environment to the animals needs. They will thrive and bring years of enjoyment to you. I hope you are enjoying this very Holy weekend. My hubby and I pray nightly for you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Jesus is our hope and I pray many will know Him and have peace. Much love ❤ from Alabama.

[@smorc65]

Nice to see a full vampire crab enclosure that satisfies their needs. I've been enjoying the channel Indoor Ecosystem for his care guides on various geosarma species and this is really next level

[@sarahcb3142]

Thank you for including the common name of your plants with the Latin one! I used to have to search for the Latin name constantly to figure out which types of plants you were using so I appreciate the extra detail! Also, love the scape.

[@fernedowns6652]

Ya,it’s soo helpful like who is gonna remember the Latin names 👍

[@gammaplus640]

@@fernedowns6652 ​Latin name is helpful for identifying the plant with precision instead of having to hope the common name isn't shared with a bunch of other similar plants, plus the Latin name is international and helps those whose main language isn't English

[@IndoorEcosystem]

I'm gunna be "That Guy" but I'm sure you'll appreciate the extra info on Geosesarma species. ❤ The first thing is you shouldn't mix the species/colours . They'll fight each other to the death sadly. Kind of like male betta fish will. The second thing is that the love to burrow in soil it's their primary habitat. So if you can squeeze more section of dirt into that Paludarium they'll appreciate it. 😊 The general rule is 80% land (soil) 20% water

[@gammaplus640]

100% agree, my crabs spend most of their time burrowing, this build needs more land

[@IndoorEcosystem]

@@gammaplus640 Hopefully he catches the issue. He's usually pretty quick to correct problems

[@rickkleinschmidt5514]

Was here to say this! Jash here is the Vampire Crab pro!!! ❤

[@Maltafea]

I absolutely love the fact that you create THE PERFECT environment for the creatures you keep and let them thrive in natural enclosure rather than just a cop out with a bare tank!Love this channel!❤

[@The_Crucible714]

At one point I created a waterfall in a 60 gallon “antique” Metaframe “show” tank. The aquarium was fairly shallow but extremely tall, it was a custom order tank back in the day with an aluminum frame and slate bottom. The scape and mechanics were similar with a “pond/pool” area at the bottom. My choice of plants & mosses was also similar with the addition of tiny ferns and miniature/micro-mini free-flowering Sinningia. After a few months I stocked it with Strawberry and Green & Black Dart Frogs and a solid white male Betta in the “pond”area. It was so relaxing just to sit and watch!

[@vlastimirsavic1426]

I've been watching your videos for years now and with this build you've finally convinced me- you are not human, you are a mythical grass type pokemon with godlike creative powers. I will never not be amazed by your content, thank you for what you do.

[@LiquidJeM4031]

Absolutely amazing man. I dont understand how you can just… make something like this. Mind blown

[@eikebraselmann4306]

You start with talent, and then apply dedication to improve your skill through years of practice. It's a rare combination, for someone to be equally gifted and disciplined.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Incredible. Your brain is amazing, your patience astounding, your artistry unmatched. Bonkers mate, you blow my mind every time. As always, big love from Scotland.

[@designasaur5354]

A LIVE STREAM CAM ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT.

[@danscrivens7339]

This could be my favourite one yet.

[@RoseBengale]

This is absolutely enrapturing. I love how much you care about even the tiniest bugs and mosses.

[@Winddancer_Lor]

This - is - INSANE. You were good to take more time to finish this instead of rushing anything. I mean, you never rush anything and that's wonderful :) Holy sh**, this one's so much of work but so worth the effort and time... I really love to see those crabs climbing up those walls! Just amazing.

[@AlexONeal]

All the designs are beautiful, but the structure of this one has an unusually strong sense of motion, even before any plants or water were added. Really gorgeous. (And the crabs are too adorable!)

[@grave_mud]

Been watching you for years. This is my favorite so far. It feels like a culmination of all of your knowledge in one beautiful piece of art.

[@danielballard3364]

simply next level terrarium/enclosure building and landscape shaping/designing.. nothing else to add here Tanner *massive thumbs up for the hard work*

[@mckenziegranata5778]

I just can't keep myself from trying to build a terrarium, vivarium or anything along those lines after watching a SerpaDesign video. Keep up the AMAZING work Tanner, your videos are truly inspiring.

[@danielcrossman5926]

Your work with the Spiderwood and the smaller twigs was one of my favorite parts of this build. What an awesome design!

[@Aghul]

This is such an incredible build! I love these vertical paludariums because they create so many different layers and details to look at.

[@Djbomb20]

River paludarium for trout would be awesome

[@2tone753]

I'm literally overwhelmed by the attention to detail, animals and charisma of this pool. I am a person who is not easily impressed. Your pelvis did it right away. Really great work! Many greetings from Berlin - Germany.

[@drasiella]

You sound like you smile while you talk and I love it

[@Shad0wtTrance]

Absolutely Stunning! Bravo!!

[@gravy3991]

It truly amazes me how creative and talented some people are in this world. Blows my mind

[@j.st.1274]

your videos provide me an oasis of comfort and joy in a desert of anxiety. Thank you for all that you do, you are truly and inspiration!

[@jileanong2842]

A beautiful build. The wood placement was great but even better was the care taken to ensure that the whole setup was suitable and a great living space for the crabs. Well done on a fantastic build.

[@Terratepuy]

Another amazing piece of nature and art!

[@kitkate44]

Please keep us updated on this one!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Amazing work as usual! Perfect habitat for them!

[@Accaliaxwolf]

This is by far my favorite set up so far ! I absolutely love the new way you shaped this build ! With use of glass and making multiple waterfalls! Amazing job! I've followed your talent and videos for a long long time, and it's awesome to continually see growth and change in your builds ! 💚

[@afonso1816]

It's hard to say this because you made some absolute marvelous projects throughout the years, but this is definitely one of your best! The beauty, the complexity, the execution. Perfect

[@aeowid]

Your craftmanship is reaching the level of master 👀

[@tru001]

The look is fully in harmony. Wonderful!

[@abbotsa]

This is so incredibly beautiful! I think if I had this at home, I'd never leave the house and just sit there and stare at it all day. You can be so proud of yourself!

[@trialbyfirepyrography321]

That is truly beautiful! My husband was so happy to see you do this one.

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

There no words for the pure genius you put into each build you do every time I am more and more captivated by their beauty. You can honestly make millions if u made an actual business doing builds for people bc everyone will come to you to build everything. 😊

[@caketropolis]

It's so beautiful, those are some very lucky crabs

[@nicholasvellios6555]

I absolutely love the design, especially of the vivarium itself. That glass looks expensive though!

[@ArchibaldBunker3452]

Just made my first ever paludarium and I’m super happy with it, once it’s cycled in about a month I’ll pick up 4 red devil vampire crabs and words cannot explain how excited I am!

[@Gabea16]

W, same, mine is halfway done after 2 days, just gonna add more plants and land for hiding places, and then let run for a while before adding crabs, hope yours goes well

[@palatina6626]

This habitat left me speechless. Your skills are beyond everything I could imagine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@billheuber5884]

I absolutely love it, it's beautiful!! Please keep us updated on all the animals in this paludarium!!

[@jaystube7713]

I have been eyeballing vampire crabs for a while now myself and I have been watching lots of videos on them and have been hoping to see you make one. The tank came out awesome! great job!

[@12345eatacake]

Look forward to seeing some updates. I have had my vampire crabs since November. I don't see them often. But they have started to have baby's! It's something very different, when people come over and look at my pets they are easily the once people are most interested in. They always seem shocked that people have crabs as pets.

[@thejerseyherper5320]

The paludarium looks amazing!!! I cannot wait to see how the vining plants grow and hangover all the caves

[@scratchbite1501]

This might be my favorite build you've done, and im obsessed with the crabs they're TOO cute omg

I do a little cheer whenever the oak leaf creeping fig comes out. love that lil guy

Gosh, this one is something just a little extra special. Great job, as usual.

[@Echosinfireify]

Watching you work it is so clear you are a master craftsman.

[@sarahb5614]

Wow, what an incredibly intricate build! I can tell how much effort you put in.

[@scoon2117]

Crazy complex build loved it.

[@CanineWild]

I'm completely blown away by your channel- your builds are absolutely breathtaking. I've been planning to build a bioactive for my ball python for a couple years now and clicked on a recommended vid of yours on a whim to get some inspo. Now I want to fill my space to the brim with nature art like this. I've also wished for a long time to make a little replica of a native pond for my area, and assumed it was beyond my abilities, but you really make it seem like it would be possible. Wonderful job my dude!

[@miaolindias]

You really nailed it with this one!!!

[@JonnieB.]

Excellent end result. As always you crush it with the details

[@tomasquadrado1513]

I can already tell that this one is gonna be a BANGER!!

[@morgan1985uk]

Most people just buy a giant plastic storage tub. SerpaDesign takes it to the highest possible levels ❤

[@jmarshal]

Gorgeous as always. All that glass is a little daunting but it’s great to see a master at his work. The crabs look very happy and their new home is beautiful.

[@INGIE32]

Absolutely stunning as usual. And also amazing sense of scale.

[@eddiefniii]

[@taketheredpill1452]

Would love to have a 3-hour video of this with just natural sounds, especially water. Maybe a slowly panning camera. A ton of people would love it because most people just want to enjoy your work without all the hassle.

[@MsLeenite]

Beautiful! The environment is good to look at & rich in features for the crabs' benefit. And they seem to be enjoying it. I'd say it's a winner! Although the ease (or otherwise) of maintenance remains to be seen... Anyway, congratulations on another impressive project.

[@kayetaylor5551]

Watched it❤❤❤❤ I love how much thought goes into the animals lifes 😊 those crabs and other life forms will feel safe and have enough places to search for food....great to see there are plenty of hiding spaces... Great build ❤ I would feel content having this in my house😊

[@tracybowling1156]

You are an extremely gifted artist!

[@OkamiTheRedWolf]

I love watching your videos. Recently I've been pretty up and down in terms of mood and whenever I watch one of your videos it fills me with bliss. Thank you. One day I'll make my own terrarium.

[@mikeconley6331]

Love this build BRO the black really makes the tan and green pop from the branches and moss I’m looking to start something like this next month love it 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
