Why do you have to wash you hermit crab?
You don't. While it's suggested that you bathe your hermit crab when you first bring it home to flush debris out of it's shell and look for mites, as long as your provide pools deep enough for your crab to get their shell opening into, you do not need to bath it.
Do hermit crabs need a towel over their cage?
No, they don't unless there is a problem and your hermit crab has chosen to surface molt. In that case, he needs darkness and the best thing to do is give him a hidey such as a cocohut or other shelter so he can keep himself in darkness. Never ever disturb a molting hermit crab if it can be avoided. if a crab does surface molt, it is vital that you section him off from any other crabs you may have. This includes keeping them from being able to dig down under a barricade, as a molting crab gives off a very enticing smell (which is not an issue when they bury to molt) which may attract other hungry hermit crabs who will steal the shed exoskeleton of the molting crab who needs to eat it to regain strength. The newly molted hermit crab is also extremely soft and vulnerable, and could also become a target of another hungry hermit crab. for more hermit crab information you can rely on: http://www.hermitcrabparadise.com
