Those are right lovely! I need a few in elusive sizes: 11/8; 11/4; 15/8; etc. Naples is sold out of most of the sizes I need. Sigh.

I think generally the shells from Naples are a wee bit big, try ordering the next (small) increment down... I'm trying that this time round.

Mine all came in painted D shaped snail shells, which I dutifully upgraded for years, not having found those forum yet. When I first ordered turbo shells, they were soooo much bigger than I expected for the opening size. The ones I ordered for my smaller (medium) crabs worked great for my big guys. But they're so big and heavy compared to the snail shells. I ordered smaller, and all my crabs that have been up have changed. Good luck!
