Wow. I hope they're alright! If my 20L broke, there would DEFINATELY not be enough room for my 12 unless i bought a new one fast!

I bet that was a mess. Did you get a new one, and do you have pics of them for us. I am just learning about these pets. Tiny to jumbo. Okay I have a question. How big do they get......
okay another. How long do they live? Sorry thought of another.

How long do they live? Sorry thought of another. In captivity, the maximum they can live is usually 25, but some people have better luck. It is VERY HARD to get a hermit crab to live a long time. In the wild, some can get as big as a football, but shells these big are probably very rare. If a hermit crab ever got that big in captivity, their owner would have to spend a lot of money for a shell big enough for it.

Wow, I had no idea. Anyone ever get pinched by one? They don't have crabs around here as pets, at least from the stores that I go to.

When I got mine, I got them near the beach. From a store of course.
