Is your hermit crab a boy or a girl?
You can tell by looking underneath the third row of legs on your hermit crab. On a female Hermit crab, there are two small holes underneath the third row of legs. These holes are called "Gonopores". On a Male hermit crab there are no holes. To check-get your hermit crab out and hold it's shell up. Make sure the shell is facing towards the ceiling and the hermit crab's body is facing torwards the floor. while the hermit crab is dangling upsidown you are able to see underneath the legs where the gonopores might be. And remember: No gonopores=MALE.....gonopores=FEMALE Hope this helps! :)

How can tell hermit crabs from male to female?
If you look at the underside of your crab, on it's last pair of walking legs under it's abdomen, a female will have a dot on each side, these dots are called nonporous. They are what determines whether or not you have a female or a male crab. its hard to tell if your hermit crab is a male or female when there in their shell the girls are most likely to be smaller in size than the male but never ever pull your hermit crab out of its shell to see if its a male or a female they probably would like to be pulled in half then give up its home
