    So I took a few hours to research on how to do these. I'm thinking of getting an amphibious tank.

    Paladariums are not very hard to make. Just have to be careful about the type of plants you use. Dendroboard website has articles on this. Humidity is important to keep up but most aquariums with hoods and moist soil /media will keep moist. I notice mine would die off in the winter when my wife decides not to warn me about turning off the heater or when she would crank up the AC to cool the house to below 68'. I was guaranteed a loss. These crabs fight too and need good space / territories for males. They will eat fish flake, freeze dried foods, and pin head crickets(careful grown crickets will kill or hurt them- personal stupid experience). Replace food dish daily. I've not kept any alive more than 8 months. I hope I can change this streak, been doing more reading.

    +1. Paladariums would be great for these guys.

    The price depends on the quantity that we can order (shipping). . . but it looks like $5-$6 each. I may try to get ahold of the red devil crabs first.

    Very tempting...but I've managed to kill several strains of these already. They eat ok, kept in 80% humidity. Don't know if it was the temp. They are way cool to watch. Are you buying the bicolor variety?
