Buckbeak's shell upgrade

Post by crabby33 » Tue Apr 17, 2018 7:33 am

Buckbeak has gone from 7/8" opening to a 1 1/4" opening. I know he will need a 1 1/8" opening for the next size up. What is the next size up from a 1 1/8" opening? I'm assuming I will need a 1 1/2" opening.

Wow, he's getting bigger!
Yes, it would be a 1 1/2 inch opening, but there are also 1 7/8 openings that you can get.

I personally would recommend checking Naples Seashell Company for larger shells.

Buckbeak recently molted and that's why he upgraded to a larger shell. I woke up this morning and he and Timon had done a shell swap. Timon had switched out of the jade green turbo he was in and had switched into the murex once Buckbeak had moved out and Buckbeak was in a banded turbo with a 1 1/4" opening.
