How can you tell if your hermit crab is a female?
they have 2 dots under their first set of walking legs called gonopores, if they come far enough out of their shell you can tell. Males do not have the 2 dots. Sometimes your hermit crab may to shy to come far out enough for you to tell. but just be patient with it. ;)
What do gonopores look on hermit crabs?
If your hermit crab will come far enough out of it's shell, you can see under its legs, if there's 2 small dots, your crab is a female, if there isn't then its a male. Hope this helps! :)
How can tell hermit crabs from male to female?
If you look at the underside of your crab, on it's last pair of walking legs under it's abdomen, a female will have a dot on each side, these dots are called nonporous. They are what determines whether or not you have a female or a male crab. its hard to tell if your hermit crab is a male or female when there in their shell the girls are most likely to be smaller in size than the male but never ever pull your hermit crab out of its shell to see if its a male or a female they probably would like to be pulled in half then give up its home
