Nothing; All paint is bad for crabs, so don't buy those pretty painted shells for your hermit crabs or a crab in a painted shell. They are cruelly forced into the painted shell and are more likely to die when you bring them home. Also, they will eat the paint when it chips off and die.
What are facts on crabs?
1. Hermit crabs are able to go outside if the temperature is between 70*F and 90*F. 2. Hermit crabs like heat and humidity. 3. If you get more than 1 hermit crab then their shells need to all be the same sizes because if 1 hermit crab has a bigger shell than that crab will kill the smaller ones. 4. You need to keep a good eye on the crabs because if you let the crabs roam around on your floor while not looking they might get away and that would be a super bad problem. 5. And make sure that they have food and water in their cages every day. 6. Never put them in a bowl full of lots of water because then they will drown and do not ever put hermit crabs in chlorine. 7. And pay lots of attention to your hermit crabs.Love on them and make them feel good.

All hermit crabs love sea salt. DO NOT GIVE IT TABLE SALT. IT WILL KILL THE HERMIT CRAB. All hermit crabs should have a small bowl of fresh water & salt water. You can purchase salt water from your local pet store. If you want fresh water you should give your hermit crab bottled water. Faucet water contains toxins which are bad for any pet. They will not die, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
What is the average price of a hermit crab?
anywhere from $1-$15 but usually about $5.99 for painted shells (which is a bad idea painted shells can make hermit crabs sick or even die!), or $4.99 for a normal shell (please get these! they're cheaper and better for the crab itself- and they look better because the paint will eventually chip).
