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).
For years I made the mistake of keeping one jumbo at a time. I misinterpreted the name hermit to mean that crabs preferred to live alone. I feel badly knowing that my crabs would have been so much happier having had friends. At The Hermit Crab Patch we do not sell only one crab to customers unless they already have other crabs waiting at home.
