George The Lobster - (born approximately 1869) owned briefly by the City Crab and Seafood restaurant in New York City. Captured in December 2008, he was released back into the wild in January 2009. George weighed 20 pounds (9.1 kg), and had an estimated age of 140 years.
There is no known way to exactly determine the age of a lobster since their bodies molt. The best way is to estimate age is based on the weight of the lobster. It takes approximately seven years (depending on the gender and water temperature) for a lobster to grow to legal harvesting size (1-1 1/4 lb.). After that, a lobster will grow about 1 pound for every 3 years.
The Guinness book of world records holds the oldest lobster at caught was in Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing 20.15 kilograms (44.4 lb). It's age can only be speculated.
When scientists and biologists fully understand why Lobsters do not die of old age, it may be possible to create a therapy to prevent humans from dying of old age.
in custody, hermit crabs can live up to around 9-12 years, if taken care of properly. I had one and it lived to around nine years.
In the wild, they can live much longer, if they are not eaten or otherwise harmed.
29 years.
Carol has what may be the two oldest living land hermit crabs in the world. Jonathan Livingston Crab and Crab Kate will turn 29 years old in August, far surpassing the life span of your average land hermit crab.
10 to 30 years in captivity if treated properly
The Life span of a Hermit crab can be anywhere between 1 - 32 but the Average life span is around 10 - 15 Yrs. depending on where U got Ur "Crabby"
It's hard to say for wild crabs but Carol of Crabworks has had John and Kate for over 35 years. The accepted estimation for wild crabs is 30-50 years.
30-50 years old if you keep good care of them!
Hermit Crab fossils have been found dating back to the Late Cretaceous period, when the dinosaurs started disappearing, 89 to 65 million years ago.

If you treat crabs right they can live up to 20 years old. Most live ten

You should let it mold. It is part of life for a Hermit crab.
What is a Hermit Crab's predator?
I say about 15 Yrs if you treat them real well.
It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs. The hermit crab actually loves being with other hermits. It is called hermit crab because it is only one hermit crab in the shell. It's term 'hermit' is not because it doesn't like other hermit crabs.

If it is a hermit crab, then it is like any other hermit crab, so just take care of it as you would to a regular hermit crab :)
