Painted shells for hermit crabs often look so cute, but they are really a horror to hermit crabs. When their shell is being painted, they could easily get stuck into their shell and die. The paint can also chip off, and they could easily become ill.
Here is a story I found a while ago on a hermit crab getting stuck in its painted shell.

Also, I do not recommend rescuing any animals. They will only be restocked, and what happened to the one animal will happen to thousands more because of the increase of supply and demand. Plus, you're giving them money to imprison more animals.
