what are land hermit crabs?
Answer THank you for your interest in hermit crabs, I will be happy to answer your question! Public awareness of hermit crabs as pets is growing, but not many know much about their nature, their place in the ecosystem and the means of proper hermit crab keeping. It’s important to understand their nature to properly care for hermits. Land hermit crabs come from tropical regions of the globe, including the Caribbean, South and Central America and parts of Australia. They are born in the ocean near the shore. As they develop, they come ashore to find abandoned small animal shells to inhabit. They have been found in mountainous areas at elevations of up to 3,000 feet. They also have been found living in trees. Hermit crabs have been observed climbing 60-foot cliffs! Hermit crabs live in colonies of up to 100 or more.
