hi everyone... im also very interested in hermit crabs as pet and hoping to get some... but is it true that it lives only 4 years in tank compared to in nature 40 years? is it possible that i release it on its 3rd year so tht it may live for another 36 years?

I have done releasing of hermit crabs a few times already.
I am always happy seeing them joining to the colony in their natural habitat.

And Why do I do it at night, although it is dangerous for me?
It is because if I release them during the day, they would be exposed to heat and sunlight, and may die from it, if they unable to to find a hiding spot and no other hermit crabs within range. Further more hermit crabs are most active at night.
