	Burke's Backyard Archives 2004 - Hermit Crab Roadtest
		Land Hermit Crabs are part of a group of crabs that actually live the majority of their time out of the water.
		Hermit crabs are not in fact true crabs and are more accurately called 'false crabs' because they don't have a permanent, broad, flat shell.
		Although the visible part of the hermit crab (its main legs, claws and head) are covered by the tough exoskeleton, the abdomen is actually devoid of this natural toughness and requires another animal's shell to protect it.

		The growth cycle of a land hermit crab is based on a process known as moulting, which is often triggered by the amount a hermit crab a hermit crab eats and drinks.
		A hermit crab can be safely exercised out of the tank within the safety of a plastic crab ball, and allowed to roam and climb more than the height and width of their crabitat.
		Hermit Crabs under a golf ball size would most probably be under ten (10) years of age, and medium size (mandarin size) at least in their twenties (20+).

	HermitFAQs2
		With one exception, all the hermit crab species with which I am familiar brood their larvae externally (but within the shell) until they complete the nauplius stages (early stage larvae, similar to a baby brine shrimp), this period can vary between about 1 and 12 months, depending on the species.
		Hermits often have elaborate mating behaviors (displays, shell knocking and such) during which the male will guard the female until she releases the prior brood that she is carrying.
		The crabs are brownish in color and have equal sized claws, rather small compared to the purchased hermit crab claws I remember from when I was a kid.

		The male crab, gently tapping and rocking the female crab, encourages her to come out of her shell.
		Since females of both species of land hermit crab sold in the United States (purple claw and Ecuadorian) have gonopores in the same place and of the same size, it is probably safe to say that all the females of the species kept in captivity (including Australian species) have their gonopores similarly situated.
		Many crabs are reluctant to come far enough out of their shells to allow you to see whether or not they have gonopores -- DO To have a better chance of seeing them, try looking for them after or during your pets' weekly bath.

	Crab Louse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Crabs that have been properly cooked will be, for all practical purposes, bacteria free since the bacteria will have been killed during the cooking process.
		The undigested food the crab has eaten and the wastes in the interior of the crab take a long time to freeze in home freezers and increase the risk of bacterial growth.
		They are called crab spiders because of their first two pairs of legs, which are held out to the side giving them (with their flattened, angular bodies) a crab-like appearance.

		I would gaze absently at the blank range of cliffs, at the silent and boundless plain, down the winding rows of scrub and rock while nature hushed the world to sleep, when suddenly the awesome howl of a dingo split the stillness and roused me out of my reverie.
		Through the downs I followed where the long grass was slightly knocked down by horses, and on to the timbered lands where the sight of a piece of bark knocked off a tree by a wheel hub would make one feel confident I was on the right track.
		Mounting the top of a little bald hill, I eagerly searched the horizon for land marks, but only the wide boundless plain met my gaze-no hills or low strips of timber marking the course of a creek, not a bird or a beast to be seen.

		Hermit crabs are usually born in the ocean, near the shore.
