Can 4 salamander live with 2 hermit crabs?
Not in a typical set up. Hermit crabs are scavengers, and even seldom documented hunters. They might attack your salamanders. Some salamanders also produce toxic chemicals which can harm a crab. Also, crabs need salt water, and salamanders have very sensitive skin. If your salamander wandered into the salt water by mistake, it would most likely die. It's not a good idea to house these animals together.
