I'm so happy! My Timon is in a magpie finally! He changed out of the gold mouth he was in. I thought for sure he didn't like the magpies but I'm beginning to think he likes the heavier shells.

Congrats! I wish my crabs would choose some of the magpies I have for them.

Magpies are rarely chosen in captivity because of how heavy they are.

Agreed! However, it is what they wear in the wild, and if they have never been given the option of other types of turbos will wear them happily, knowing no better.

I do try to follow the preferred shell guide and picas are on the preferred list. However, I will see what other preferred shells I can buy.
