A crab has four pairs of legs and a pair of chelipeds (claws).
girl
It has 9 or 8 legs if you saing red but the orange are 10-12 have fun<3<3
If you look at the underside of your crab, on it's last pair of walking legs under it's abdomen, a female will have a dot on each side, these dots are called gonopores. They are what determines whether or not you have a female or a male crab
The first pair of legs containing the chelae (claws) are called chelipeds. All five pairs are called pereopods
The 2 dots on a female hermit crab are called gonopores and they are where the male crab deposits his sperm in order to fertilize her eggs.
If the Hermit crab is a female, it has two gonopores on the first segment of the back pair of walking legs.
It's "the crab." This is the crustacean kind with four pairs of legs and a pair of large pincers.
You cannot tell the gender from their claws or color. You must look for the presence of "gonopores" at the base of the last pair of walking legs. Gonopores will be on the female crab they look like two small dots. Look up "hermit crab gonopores" for a photo reference.
with their tiny legs
First, gently coax your hermit crab to expose the bottom of its second pair of legs. You can do this by hanging it face-down with its belly toward you and letting it stretch toward your palm. On the top joints of the second pair of legs, near the abdomen, if there are two small dots, it is a girl. If you see nothing, it is a boy. This is not always accurate, however.
you have a nice pair of whatever your talking about
