A captive hermit crab's life span depends on how well he's cared for. Jeffrey Hamilton/Digital Vision/Getty Images. If the wild hermit crab is fortunate enough to live his life in his natural habitat, he can live up to 30 years. A crab in captivity may have a much shorter life, not even reaching 1 year.
What Affects Life Span. Habitat -- How you house hermit crabs will greatly affect how long they live. Hermit crabs do best in glass or acrylic aquariums decorated with branches, empty shells and plants. Keep the humidity between 70 percent and 80 percent, and maintain a habitat temperature of 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
