Once my Beau got that big, I went up shell sizes by 1/4". He's currently in a 1.25" opening shell, so I bought him 3 shells with 1.5" openings for when he grows. He still looks/seems pretty comfortable in what he has now though. I got them on Etsy, and they are really nice and a great price. If you search for hermit crab shells on Etsy, you can look around until you can find someone with shells that have 1.75" openings. If you're worried that might be too big, you can try 1 5/8" openings (slightly smaller). Naples Shells also tends to have a good selection of shells too. They were out of stock of 1.5" at the time, that's why I ended up on Etsy. Good luck!

She currently has 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" openings available in this shell. I ordered my big shells from her and they were really nice. Image
