No. Hermit crabs have modified gills, meaning that they need 70-80% humidity in order to breath. However hermit crabs cannot breath under water; they will drown.
It is important to have the humidity between 70-80% so the hermit crab can properly breath. Smoke is toxic to hermit crabs and will eventually kill them.

1. Hermit crabs are able to go outside if the temperature is between 70*F and 90*F. 2. Hermit crabs like heat and humidity. 3. If you get more than 1 hermit crab then their shells need to all be the same sizes because if 1 hermit crab has a bigger shell than that crab will kill the smaller ones. 4. You need to keep a good eye on the crabs because if you let the crabs roam around on your floor while not looking they might get away and that would be a super bad problem. 5. And make sure that they have food and water in their cages every day. 6. Never put them in a bowl full of lots of water because then they will drown and do not ever put hermit crabs in chlorine. 7. And pay lots of attention to your hermit crabs.Love on them and make them feel good.
