the in between sizes are easy but teeny and large are so hard to find. my girls are weird im finding and wont switch shells till they have much much larger size shells in the tank. i couldnt agree more that craft stores and deco shops are great. ive also had a little luck randomly at thrift shops and my citys local art walk. nothing great one or two. we need to find friends that live at the beach. :hlol:

Check out MyGann on Amazon etsy ebay and his down store by the same name. I ordered a 2 inch opening Shell but ive seen 2.5 and 2.75 inch openings. Give him a look.

Good Luck

No,wondered then same thing when I was purchasing. But as soon as i recieved mine I boiled for around 10 min and tryed poking at it to remove any hidden coating and nothing came off.

Im sure if you contact the seller he/she they could answer your questions

Oh! Thank you so very much! They are perfect! I was getting worried I would never find shells big enough with them costing me a car payment!
