Yes, land hermit crabs do mate. If you mean in captivity...yes and no. They will mate and sometimes you will even get fertilized eggs, but you can not raise them to be surviving baby hermit crabs in captivity unless you can duplicate the ocean.

Yes. Land Hermit Crabs can kill each other sometimes but only if they want something from the other one like a shell.
