[For once, not based on a movie XDDD]
Hermit crabs are anything BUT hermits. They are very social, and get lonely. They molt every so often and replace their exoskeleton, which they then eat. Now, when they molt other hermit crabs may try to eat THEM, which can be a problem. Also, they’re only a few inches big [small as .5 inches to 6 inches for the RP].
They have shells, which they sometimes change after molting. Because, when they molt they get a little bigger [.1 to .2 inches bigger for the RP].
So, you can start in some pet store or a natural habitat. There’s only one pet store, so not everyone can be in a different one. As for the species, just pick one that’s within the size range and you’re fine.
-Rules-
No ubering [Like instantly molting]. Admins can be any of the species, or a Human. Admins are those that PM me and I accept them. Hermit Crabs act to other Hermit Crabs how a human interacts with another human. Please be realistic, if you want to know when you can molt, or when you should, just PM me about it, kay?

I enter the pet store and look around. Hmm, A cat or Dog was too much for me at the moment. A Lizard? Eww.... Hmm. A Hermit Crab, all it does it molt, that is fine with me. "I'd take that" I said to the store owner. "10.95" Replied the owner. "Deal." He gave me all my things and I headed off with my Hermit Crab in a box. |

I arrived at my house, I immediatly took out the Hermit Crab and put it in the well prepared enviroment. "Here is your new home, this glass cage." I said to the figure. "I'll just name you Spike, I loved the word Spike when I was a kid, so I'll name you that." |

[Whoa. It's okay]

I go to the mini creek, and use my tiny leg to bring some water to my mouth. |

"Hmm, Thirsty, Lemme see if it's hungry." I look at the manual the owner gave me and dissappeared into the kitchen. I appeared again with small cut pieces of apple. "Says here you can eat fruit. Here you go." I drop the fruit beside the crab. |

After drinking a little water, I examin the apple. I pinch it with my little claw, and then start nibbling it with my tiny legs. |

The part of the apple slice I'm holding onto comes off, and I fall on the back of my shell "Oof" [Hermit crabs can only be understood by other hermit crabs. Humans are understood by hermit crabs as well as other humans]. I flail my arms to flip myself upright again. |

"Well, it's getting dark, I guess I should get some rest." I say to the tiny figure. "I'll keep the light on if you need it." I say as I leave the room. |
