What is required for a hermit crab habitat?
Hermit crabs live in the Caribbean so they need 70 - 80% humidity and 70 - 80F temp. Hermit crabs are VERY social so buy at least 2. one gallon of space per SMALL hermit crab. The substrate that is recommened is coconut huck fibers, so they can dig in it. also add some sand in a corner or half, The substrate should be able to cover the biggest hermit crab twice (so they can molt research what molting is IMPORTANT!) Hermit crabs are known to climb trees (They can drown in water!) so have something for them to climb on and something to hide in. Hermit crabs are scavengers so feed them fruits and veggies (change food daily). They also need DISTILLED WATER for them to drink tap water will blister their modified gills.

What to do when your hermit crab doesn't come out.?
Be patient. Make sure that the temperature and humidity are in the proper range 72-82 and let them take their time. Some crabs are just skittish by nature but even social crabs will not come out unless the conditions are favorable.
Do hermit crabs need a towel over their cage?
No, they don't unless there is a problem and your hermit crab has chosen to surface molt. In that case, he needs darkness and the best thing to do is give him a hidey such as a cocohut or other shelter so he can keep himself in darkness. Never ever disturb a molting hermit crab if it can be avoided. if a crab does surface molt, it is vital that you section him off from any other crabs you may have. This includes keeping them from being able to dig down under a barricade, as a molting crab gives off a very enticing smell (which is not an issue when they bury to molt) which may attract other hungry hermit crabs who will steal the shed exoskeleton of the molting crab who needs to eat it to regain strength. The newly molted hermit crab is also extremely soft and vulnerable, and could also become a target of another hungry hermit crab. for more hermit crab information you can rely on: http://www.hermitcrabparadise.com

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
