Hermit crabs in a 20 gallon long tank

[Sheldon the russian tortoise]

Hi I have a free 20 gallon long aquarium. (Petsmart sold me when I got Sheldon!) he has been in an outdoor enclosure for over a year now. I was thinking about putting hermit crabs in it.. I have read many care sheets and I think I am ready. How many do yall think I can put in a 20 long?

Quite a few. I think I would do 4-6 of them. Or, better yet, do some Halloween crabs.
