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

Nothing; All paint is bad for crabs, so don't buy those pretty painted shells for your hermit crabs or a crab in a painted shell. They are cruelly forced into the painted shell and are more likely to die when you bring them home. Also, they will eat the paint when it chips off and die.
Why do you need to buy shells for you hermit crab if they are going to molt anyway?
Unlike mollusks and crustaceans, Hermit Crabs do not produce their own shells. In the wild, they would find abandoned shells on the seafloor, and wiggle into those, so you must provide a constant stream of larger and larger shells as they grow. When they molt, they shed their EXOSKELETON, not their SHELL.

if they find another shell that they like better, they may just change right into it.

Hope that helps! :)
