Reply:NO! Painted shells are bad for hermit crabs in the first place!
Reply:don't know why but this question makes me laugh. all crabs outgrow their shells and need new ones, I think.



might not be good for the crab.



maybe use like natural stains? blueberries, strawberries, that kind of thing?
Reply:You should be able to paint the crab's shell right now. It is not a part of the living organism but something they pick up for shelter. I don't think it would hurt them, just don't get the paint inside the shell. Make sure it is a quick drying paint.
