Hermit crabs are easy to care for and are easily portable. While you could afford to leave one at home during a short vacation, if you are relocating or taking a long-term trip via airplane, you might wish to take your hermit crab with you.
It's tricky, but under some circumstances, it's possible to travel with your pet as a carry-on item. The Federal Aviation Administration leaves it up to the individual airline company to decide whether or not it permits pets in the cabin. Most airlines only permit cats and dogs as carry-on companions; others do not specify whether or not other small pets are allowed. A handful of airlines allow hermit crabs as carry-ons, but you should ask in advance to make sure policies permit it.

Will they explode on plane? Jun 20, I am positive when they are shipped overnight they are on a plane to get to where they need to go. I am not sure about if they are allowed on the plane, it depends on the carrier and if they allow them, it is best to call ahead.
They are allowed to go through with the TSA. AKA airport security. The problem is the airline. Most arlines will not let them on but f you put say 4 or 5 crabs n a small carry case you wll be fne. MY "I" key is not really working. You could take him but it might be a little bit of a risk. Although this fact is quite scary when you think about it many times the item turns out to be a plastic toy belonging to a wee tyke of a traveler.
Despite these being perfectly safe even toy guns and weapons are not allowed as carry on luggage. If I had to guess why I would say it is probably due to the risk of bystanders mistaking them for real guns and one can imagine the pandemonium that would ensue.
Needless to say they took him seriously, searched him and he missed his flight. The moral of the story is sarcasm does not pay. When I say food I do not mean the occasional bags of pretzels or blow pops someone tucks away in case they get hungry. I am referring to large amounts of food. It is usually only one type of food and the only thing in the bag. Interestingly people are known to bring entire frozen turkeys during the Thanksgiving season.
It gets a little weirder with some passengers carrying nothing but entire bags of stuff like Jell-O powder. Believe it or not having an empty or almost empty bag will raise suspicion among bag checkers and you will get searched for having one.
One story from Reddit described a man who decided not to bring even clothes with him since he was not going to need them where he was headed shopping spree! Apparently that explanation was not good enough for TSA workers and demanded to know why he was traveling without a darn thing.
Where do I start? I particularly enjoyed the story of a man traveling with a bag full of female mannequin parts. Security assumed he was trying to smuggle drugs within the mannequin pieces. A handful of stories have popped up about flyers stuffing thousands of dollars of cash in their carry on bags. Anywhere from six thousand to forty grand has been discussed on Reddit. TSA workers will check bags with large amounts of cash because who would not find that suspicious?
The most amusing story I read was a man traveling from Italy with thousands of dollars worth of illegally imported Italian linens. These items do not account for the harmless items people have innocently thrown into their bags in a hurry that TSA has mistaken for potential threats.
Another odd story tells of a supervisor taking his new promotion way too seriously and having a stern minute conversation with passenger of how their shirt was offensive and unacceptable to wear on the plane.
The shirt had a picture of a pistol. He was made to wear his shirt inside out at least until out of site from the micro-managing supervisor.
