Every year, the Land Hermit Crab Owners Society (LHCOS) looks for meaningful ways to combine education, conservation, and community support. Our 2026 Land Hermit Crab Calendar does exactly that — and more.

This calendar isn’t just a collection of beautiful images. It’s a celebration of Coenobita species land hermit crabs, responsible care, and the people who are committed to protecting them.
Why a Hermit Crab Calendar Matters
Land hermit crabs are one of the most commonly misunderstood exotic pets. Despite their popularity, wild populations continue to face threats from unethical harvesting, habitat destruction, and misinformation.
The 2026 LHCOS Calendar was created to:
- Highlight real land hermit crabs (never true crabs)
- Promote ethical ownership and evidence-based care
- Spark curiosity and conversation about conservation
- Fund LHCOS programs that protect crabs year-round
Every image was selected with intention — to reflect healthy, properly cared-for crabs and to reinforce what responsible stewardship looks like in practice.
More Than Dates on a Page
Each month offers a clean, easy-to-read layout paired with engaging photography that brings the natural beauty and personality of land hermit crabs into your home, classroom, or office.
Whether you’re a longtime crab keeper, an educator, or someone discovering hermit crabs for the first time, this calendar serves as a gentle reminder that small, informed choices can make a big difference.
