Meet the resident Caribbean Hermit Crabs: Hermes, Bahama, and Point Break! 🌴
These crabs are the same species often sold in souvenir shops, but they have an important story to tell. Hermit crabs can switch shells throughout their lives, so you can't always identify them by appearance alone. Hermes, our largest crab, is currently sporting a white shell, while Bahama and Point Break are rocking matching red shells.
When they're not participating in educational programs, you'll find them climbing, digging, exploring, and snacking their way through the day!
💡 Their message:
• Proper hermit crab care
• Protecting natural habitats
• Letting wild animals stay wild
Many Caribbean Hermit Crabs sold as pets or souvenirs are collected from the wild, and their care needs are often misunderstood. While they're not native to North Carolina, they help us share important conservation lessons about respecting wildlife and making informed choices!
