The Hermit crab is found along the Atlantic coast of the United States and West Indies. They are particulary common in Florida where they are often collected and sold into the pet trade. However, there are many different species and some may be found in other countires of the world but in general they will be found in countries with a tropical climate.

You can buy hermit crabs at stores such as Petco. They have many hermit crabs things to meet your needs.
What I do for my hermit crabs is I take a shallow hermit crab dish (found at pet stores), fill it with fresh NATURAL SPRING WATER (all other water will kill crabs. trust me!), and put in a hermit crab sponge (also found at pet stores). This way they can pleasantly have their NATURAL SPRING WATER (remember that!) without drowning.
