Building a Giant Jungle Paludarium for Vampire Crabs

I built a paludarium for vampire crabs a while ago, but it wasn’t quite right. It was too small, and the land area wasn’t big enough for the crabs to roam. Now it’s finally time to create a proper, spacious habitat for these fascinating and quirky creatures.
It took some work, but it wasn’t difficult—and you can build one too!

Huge thanks to the INVITAL team for the beautiful stones.

Interestingly, I didn’t see the crabs at all for almost a month after setting everything up. But they’ve slowly settled in and become more active over time.
The plants are growing beautifully, and the whole thing has turned into a lush little jungle.
I water the plants once a week and mist them a few times throughout the week. The crabs get fed every few days.
It looks incredibly natural—and honestly, I love it! What do you think? Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Here are the plants I used:
-Aglaonema ‘Silver Queen’
-Chlorophytum comosum
-Platycerium bifurcatum
-Chamaedorea elegans
-Maranta leuconeura
-Asparagus setaceus
-Polystichum tsus-simense
-Spathiphyllum
-Orchid
