Around 6 dollars and u can return them if they die but u have to bring them inside petsmart

If you go to PET-SMART they have Hermit Crabs for sale, for atleast $5 to $6 (This DOES NOT include, their cages, food, and an additional shell)
Pet smart has them I think petco has theme to. or you can try CL someone may have some to re home. do not give your hermit crabs painted shells if you buy a hermit crab with a painted shell it was probly fourced in. sorry about my spilling
Hermit crabs get stressed when they get taken from the wild, taken from the pet store, and when they are handled too much.
Pet stores
the wild populations of land hermit crabs are decreasing because of people collecting them for the pet business :(
not pet hermit crabs... they are too weak and fragile to keep the hermit crab save although wild hermit crabs might use them the would be sea snails which have harder shells
You can buy hermit crabs at stores such as Petco. They have many hermit crabs things to meet your needs.
Hermit crabs do not have a designated season in the wild; they are typically available year-round. However, the availability of hermit crabs in pet stores may vary depending on breeding cycles and demand. It's best to check with your local pet store for more specific information on when hermit crabs are available.
usually two or three years
What I do for my hermit crabs is I take a shallow hermit crab dish (found at pet stores), fill it with fresh NATURAL SPRING WATER (all other water will kill crabs. trust me!), and put in a hermit crab sponge (also found at pet stores). This way they can pleasantly have their NATURAL SPRING WATER (remember that!) without drowning.
Hermit crabs are very plain looking; they don't ever have designs. Here's pictures of a hermit crab. http://www.thecrabbagepatch.com/crabanatomy.html When they find a shell to inhabit the shell may have a pattern, but the crabs themselves are plain.
