I used to have hermit crabs. I got the little ones with the painted shells from the mall kiosk. They were cute and fun to have while they lasted, but within a few months to a year they all died off. If you get hermit crabs, make sure you pick the active ones. My friend chose one that wasn't so active and told me it was like having a pet shell.

I love Hermits! They're good pets for young people and can be entertaining. I had 4 Hermies at one time, but Spider and Whitey died in about 3 months, and then Marble died in about 6 months, and then Desperex (my favorite) died in about a year. RIP Hermies

. They have quite a range of life span.

Just curious for those who had hermies that died after a couple of months, did you supply them with a heat lamp?

We played with them at the beach, as kids. We were tempted to take them home a few times, but always left them, but enjoyed having them for pets for the afternoon.

Sometimes big crabs too!
