How do you know if a crab spider is a girl or a boy?
The male has a ball claw and the female does not.
Can you put shredded paper in your hermit crabs tank?
No, newspaper is not a good bedding for your hermit crab. Newspaper retains moisture and stays too wet. This will affect the humidity of your crabitat and also prevent heat from being retained.
If you are looking for a cheap substrate for your hermit crab(s) I suggest using sand such as the kids sandbox sand you can get from Home Depot (just make sure that the bag is not wet, as bacteria could pose harmful effects on the creature.) Or, you can use Cyprus shavings (which you can purchase in reptile sections of pet stores). Cyprus shavings promote healthy burying of your hermit crab.
Beddings to AVOID include: wood shavings (except Cyprus)...especially cedar as it is poisonous, cat litter (harmful if it gets into shell), garden dirt or potting soil (often contains fertilizer and pesticides, paper towels/newspaper (retain too much moisture and affect humidity), corn cob bedding (cannot burrow and it is rough on the legs) and finally...ground coconut/walnut shells (drain hermit crabs of moisture and they are sharp)

No, crabs are invertebrates and like all arthropods do not have a backbone or spine. Their skeleton is on the outside, called an exoskeleton, and performs similar functions to the skeletons of vertebrates.

Do you need a hermit crab sponge?
Land hermit crabs do not need a sponge in their tank. A sponge is high maintenance, it needs to be sterilized at least every 2 days due to they are known to harbor molds and bacteria. There are other methods one can use if they are attempting to boost the humidity within their tank.
That being said, if one is willing to do the high maintenance a sponge requires, it is a personal choice.
How do you bond with your hermit crab?
You give it all it needs ( research how to take care of a hermit crab). And have alots of space, change food, find out it's favorite food ( it will eat more of it than other foods).
Also you should let it climb on your hand (hand outstreched and as flat as possible). But don't keep them out too long. If a hermit crab pinches your skin, DON'T slam it to the ground ( it's a reaction0.
You need to put it over it's tank so it "smells" it's home. If that doesnt work run it LIGHTLY over tap water. A hermit crabs big claw can snap a pencil in two. A hermit crab will pinch you if it feels like it's going to fall.
