I wouldn't reccommmend a heating pad for a hermit crab, but would you like to know what does keep them warm and cozy? Just put their cage on top of the drying machine!

Do hermit crabs need a heat rock?
While hermit crabs do need heat, a heat rock is not a very good solution. Hermit Crabs can and will overheat themselves on a heat rock. A heat rock can get up to 100+ degrees, which is WAY to hot for a hermit crab. A better solution is to use an under tank heater pad, and mount it on the side of the tank. 2 small pads covering a corner is even better. You should make sure and have a cool side and warm side for your hermit crabs. Maintain about 80 degrees f on the warm side, and about 70 degrees f on the cool side and your hermit crab should be just fine. Keep the humidity at above 75% as well.
Can you take a hermit crab for a walk outside of a 10 gallon tank?

What do you do if a hermit crab bit you?
the crab will probably be holding on for a period of time so while hes holding on dribble some warm water on the claw and the crab should let go. If the crab broke through the skin but some alcohol on it or something because it may become infected. It's unlikely that a crab will bite and when it does you would have to try to hurt it in some way. good luck with the crab!
