This review is from: Land Hermit Crabs (Advanced Vivarium Systems) (Paperback)
Not all that much is know about hermit crabs, and this book not only tells you what is known it is pretty clear about what is not known as well. I think it is a great read before or after deciding to get a pet Hermit Crab.
