If you don't have space for an E, you probably don't have it for an exotic. In my opinion, crabbers should be more experienced before taking on the responsibility of more exotic crab species. I may be mistaken but they aren't as hardy or long lived in captivity as PP's or E's and it is necessary to keep their habitats at higher temps and humidities and monitor them more closely. I am sure one of the mods or experienced crabbers with exotics can also offer their opinions and advice as well.
