    Provide salt water or not?
    I just bought 3 purple pincher hermit crabs, two from a store in the mall and one from petsmart. Folks in the mall said their crabs don't require salt water, in fact, it will kill them. Folks at petsmart said yes these guys do require salt water. I'm confused... can anyone help me?
