Coconut crabs and halloween crabs

[exoticsadmirer]

Well looking at simons thread about his rainbow crab I looked at other crabs I saw these two and they're both gorgeous but i guess you can't keep coconut crabs because they get too big i mean they live for ages supposedly. So any help here or will I have to venture somewhere to find info?

Can you even get coconut/robber crabs in the hobby? That would be extremely fun, but i'd imagine you'd need an EXTREMELY robust enclosure due to their utterly ridiculous levels of strength.

I'd reckon a shed? maybe something incy bit bigger or half a room.

You'd have to have it free range in the house lol

That would be pretty amazing.

Mrs: I haven't seen the kids for hours, where are they?
Me: Mr Krabs has them muhahahaha No seriously they're cowering in the corner, I think he's hungry.

Maybe just give him/her a tree and a coconuts?

I've seen Coco Crabs for sale in Germany before, but they cost several hundred Euros. I bet they would need a huge marine water section in their enclosures. And just imagine how many tubs of peanut butter these guys can pile through...

well i don't think they need marine water as they seem to wander through tropical islands like christmas island and a brick shed well can you call it as shed? what bout halloween crabs they look nice as well....

Shame no one has these I reckon with the right enclosure they would be nice
