It’s an edge-of-water species by nature, spending much of its time on land cover under roots, cork, rocks and leaf litter then dipping into freshwater to drink and during moults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003eIn a well-structured paludarium you’ll typically see it most at dusk and overnight, foraging along the shoreline and climbing over hardscape rather than sitting out in the open. These crabs reward a “rainforest bank” layout: lots of shaded cover, damp substrate for digging, and a shallow water zone that stays consistently clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1239\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003eTheir colours show best against natural leaf litter and darker backgrounds, and they tend to look far more confident when there are multiple tight hides and broken sight-lines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":54783639322961,"sku":"orange-arm-crab-unsexed","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Baneo-Orange-Arm_2.jpg?v=1788427423","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/blue-borneo-crab-copy","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
