PEOPLE: Laverne Cox Talks Season 2 of Orange is the New Black. Below is a behind-the-scenes video of the cover shoot at her home in New York, and an edited transcript of an interview conducted May 8 in Palo Alto, before Cox addressed an audience at Stanford University.
, Reptile keeper and breeder, wildlife observation and ecology hobbyist. Hermit crabs are crabs. Crabs are invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals that do not have an internal skeleton. Instead, they have an exoskeleton. And ten legs. Reptiles are vertebrates. They have an internal skeleton, just like we do, and four legs (well, except for a few lizards that have only 2 or none, or snakes which have none).
It's often thought that hermit crabs live only a few years, but that doesn't have to be the case. With proper care and diet, some species of hermit crabs can live up to 30 years. In captivity, they do not have the same predatory threats they would have in nature -- so pet hermit crabs can live even longer.
