Hermies are easy to take care of, but some people look too much into that and take advantage of it. It's sad that so many hermies lose their lives due to inexperience of the pet stores.

Don't even bother asking about species...ask if they know "what type" of crab they have. Most don't even know that there are different kinds of hermit crabs...I've been told "we have fancy shelled ones and plain shelled ones" and "we have big ones and little ones." My favorite pet store visits are when I just walk up to the crab tank, open it, and start looking at the crabs without asking, and the employees asked me what I was looking for and stuff like that. Classic.

Mmmhmm. You're right, deathbatbabe. "For the love of money is the root of all evil," as the old proverb goes. :D Wish peeps weren't so greedy, myself!
