Hi, I was wondering where the best place to get non painted shells that aren't gonna break my bank? Also I cant seem to find large shells anywhere... any recommendations?

i just bought some turbos here
https://www.etsy.com/shop/CTSairplants? ... d=10617530
they only have medium to large shells, so if you need small shells or nonturbos, look elsewhere.

Awhile back I got a big bag of Mexican turbos on eBay for like 10 bucks. I asked for larger size ones for my big boy and I got really big ones. I think like 20 or so. I'll see if I can find the listing again. If u order just be sure to let them know they are for hermits and to please not include any chipped or holey ones cuz I think they sell em for crafting.

Here's the link, if u search in this shop they also have smaller and larger quantity lots and let them know what size opening you prefer and they will work with u.

Yes there was some variation but I had requested mostly large shells but I did get a few smaller ones too. Just message them know the size range you'd like to have and they should let u know if the can do it. I did get a few that weren't useable but it was I think like maybe 3 or so out of 20+ shells. I think this seller also sells on etsy as well.

We have also had great experiences with Naples seashell online and MyGann on Etsy.
