Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The Hermit Crab Shells that are Gradually Turning White

You are already familiar with the different
colors you see in most of your hermits. When a
pale color came to your sight, you wondered and
automatically a curious question automatically
rushed into your mind like what seemed to be the
cause why the hermit crab shells are turning
white gradually. You may be alarmed that a
possible harm is evolving in the shell that might
affect the hermit crab. Of course, there are some
reasons behind that occurrence. It doesn't happen
without any cause. Regarding with that matter, a
colorless shell might indicate that it has lost
some needed minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Both calcium and magnesium are present in the
shell of a snail which is the usual shell the
hermits are fond of staying. These minerals are
also the culprit in shells turning white that are
used by hermit crab. Hermits used to look for a
snail shell to be their protective coat. They
can't live without it and they are willing to
kill for a fellow hermit for the sake of the
shell they really like. It doesn't matter to them
if the shell is being owned by other crabs. This
is the main cause of the fight of hermits that
always leads to death in one of them.

Shells that are turning white don't have any
effect on hermit crab. It is just a change in the
outer color of the shell without any risk on the
behalf of the crab. Hermit doesn't stay long
inside the shell for as long as there is a new
shell that is being introduced in their crabitat,
there's a tendency that their attention will be
diverted on the new shell. Hermits love shells
very much that they cannot get it out from their
system. It is already a part of their life that
they cannot live without. Try to get it from them
and they will become weak. It's like a cloth that
they are always wearing with them. It's their
source of strength and protection from any other
harm that could damage their body.

Hermit crab that has shells that are turning
white is not affected in a sense that it is just
an external change in a shell. The delicate
feature of a hermit crab makes them look weak.
They cannot even get out from their shell in
front of any person even that person is the pet
owner. They tend to change their shells in the
middle of the night or in the dark where there's
no one that can see them from coming out of their
shell. Seeing them doing it may disturb them and
that disturbance could create agitation in
hermits. They are sensitive to the extent that a
simple irritation causes them to become weak. So,
they needed a special kind of treatment and
attention.

Shells that are turning white in hermit crab that
are located in beaches are just normal. The salt
in sea water that rubs the shells that are nearby
causes the whitening on shells. Salt has a
whitening property. It is even being used in
cleaning utensils to wipe out stains. That
characteristic present in salt causes the shells
to whiten when they are soaked in sea water.
