here is a picture of my guys. kind of hard to see sorry

thanks jaime

Not sure how large you need, but I purchased some big shells from MyGANN on Amazon (believe seller is also on eBay). It was $15 for three big fancy shells and I bough one extra one. Here's an idea of how big they were.

Here is a link to the preferred shell guide.

You will want to measure across the opening of the shell like this:

Look at this seller! Beautiful shells and honest size description.
I ordered a few shells and my crabs love them! Almost all are lined with mother of pearl!

Have you tried The Hermit Crab Patch? I get almost all my shells through them. Only thing is the bigger ones seem to sell out fast, but in terms of measuring & getting the right size I find it the easiest to use.

How big do you need and what species? I have some jumbos I would be willing to trade for larges
