Etsy sea shell recommendations?

[Kermie16]

Normally I order our seashells from Naples but seems they are currently running a bit low on the smaller sized turbos. Wondering who you all have used on Etsy that you liked the sea shells and how the shells were shipped (packaged well and pretty quick shipping)? Thanks!! I'm trying to get a few more shell selections for our smallest hermie who has yet to change shells but is barely fitting in his current shell.

the samller sizes are so hard to find! my smallest Tina is also pretty picky but lucky still an ok fit for her shell. also if you dont mind me asking how do you measure your crabs to figure out what size shell to buy next? currently im just eyeballing it. its working for the bigger three but Tina hasnt ever changed shells.

I bought a shell measurer from The Hermit Crab Patch. Looks like this:

It works great and also comes with a wonderful detailed and yet simple description of how to use it!

Found a bag of shells at the dollr store so i had to. It was almost 20 scallop dishes in various sizes. Which is perfect i wanted some more and needed extras for my iso tuppys. One of the scallops even had a barnacle growth. The shells weren't suitable crab homes so they will either go in my SW pool or ill crush them up for the calcium. Saw a lady with a bag that had what looked like better options.



New scallop feeding and water dishes.



Lil barnacle growth! Lol.
