They Turn different colors but there small dots
Hermit crab eggs look similar to some fish eggs. Thousands of eggs are laid along the left side of the female's abdomen. The female will carry them for about a month. The eggs will gradually turn gray. The female will go to the ocean and deposit the eggs into the water.
It is a green hermit crab with blue claws.
what it looks like is a naked hermit crab so if your hermit crab isn't picking it shell for almost a day get more changing shells so if your hermit crab is naked don't worry just give them some time
Look for it in dark places like under a sofa
When a hermit crab sheds you will see something come out of the shell and it looks like its dead it only sheds halfway and if you look inside the shell it will still be there.
Truthfully, other than the obvious (crabs and lobsters), they are closely related to the spider.
When the hermit crab is first hatched, it goes through many stages. First it is hatched from it's egg, then it comes out as small phytoplankton. They go through many molts(shed their exoskeleton)and soon look like a hermit crab. When they are in the sea, breathing water, they are called zoea.
Land hermit crabs lay their eggs and carry them in their shell until they are ready to hatch. A female crab will be holding them on the sides of her abdomen and they are quite easy to spot because there are so many of them. She will release them in the ocean when they are ready.
Land Hermit Crabs consume fresh water. It is suggested by some pet stores to have two watering dishes. One for bottled fresh water and the other for bottled salt water. The hermit crab can choose between the two depending upon the nutrients it feels it needs. If you do not have salt water- that is fine, it is not necessary.
You cannot tell the gender from their claws or color. You must look for the presence of "gonopores" at the base of the last pair of walking legs. Gonopores will be on the female crab they look like two small dots. Look up "hermit crab gonopores" for a photo reference.
I have heard that when they mate they will wrap their legs around each other and it may look like fighting. But from what ive heard even if they do manage to lay eggs almost no one professional or not has hatched eggs before, even them laying eggs is rare.
If you own a hermit crab, they ALWAYS have to change shells. So, when they change it you will see their 'belly' when they move to shell to shell. Do not try pulling it out of it's shell, that is very rude and cruel
