If one claw is bigger than another claw on a hermit crab is it a boy or girl?

The claw size has nothing to do with the sex of the hermit crab. The small claw is a "feeder" claw, used to rip and tear food and bring it to the crab's mouth. The large claw is used for defense, as well as for holding the food while the crab uses the small claw to pick pieces off to eat. The female crab will have two visible gonopores on the 4th pair of walking legs, and will have pleopods on the side of her abdomen, best seen when the crab is switching shells.

Is your hermit crab a boy or a girl?

You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)
