Hermit Crab Help Please.....?

Question

I was wondering how do you know if the hermit crab is a boy or if its a girl? does it have to do with their claws? Please help me !!!!

Answer 1

You have to check the number of dots on its underside.

Answer 2

Hey cat, leave it next to the remote, if he tries to change channels, it's a boy.  :)

Answer 3

Claws will only pinch you and help identify the species.

To tell gender look at the underside of the crab. on the last set of full legs right where they connect to the body. YOu may see a small dot on each leg right where it connects to the body. If there are the two dots then it is female. If you don't see any dots it is male.

on some species because of the colouring it may be hard to see the dots.
