You should put distilled water and and sea salt water in your crab's tank. It shouldn't be deep enough for the crab to submerge itself in, but they have to be able to get out or they can drown.
Hermit crabs need distilled water because the clorine in tap water burns their modified gills and sofacates them, same with table salt. use SEA salt.

What type of land crabs are best to buy?
* It's best to buy a hermit crab with a natural shell rather than a painted one if possible. The paint from hermit crab shells often flakes off over time and can be eaten by the crab. The paint flakes can also find their way inside the shell and can irritate the crab's skin. Some crabs have even had paint flakes puncture their skin. * Before a hermit crab is brought home, all of the necessary hermit crab care items should also be bought if the pet owner doesn't already have them. These include several hermit crab shells of various sizes, a sponge for his water, hermit crab food and a large enough cage to house the crab and all of his supplies. == == anymore questions?? contact me at bubbliciousbridgette@yahoo.com

How can you give water to your hermit crab?
There are these tiny little sea sponges you can find in little clear baggies hanging up in the fish/reptile care and supplies section of any Walmart and you just soak them with water and set them in the cage. You can also place the sponge in a small jar lid after you wet it if you don't want all the surrounding sand to get wet. You just replace the sponge every few days when it gets drier.
