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).
Not only are hermit crabs are not hermit-like at all, they are gregarious partiers who will keep a crab-party going all night. Youâve probably seen the clear plastic critter-carriers and one-gallon fish tanks where hermit crabs are sometimes displayed. These are not safe homes for hermit crabs. In fact, if the critter-carrier has a standard âberry-basketâ top for ventilation, the crab inside is probably already dying a slow and painful death.
