Where to find XL/Jumbo Shells

Post by FJrocks003 » Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:26 am

I Just adopted two new crabs both of which are huge (one L-XL, the other XL almost jumbo). My other 3 are all L. I didn't realise how big the new ones were until I saw them in person. The largest shells I have are a few XL and only 1 jumbo (which is not even the right type of shell, and the new crabs are blueberries and seem to be very picky). The two new crabs will soon outgrow the XL shells and my other crabs will eventually get there too. Now the question is where will I find all these jumbo shells?! I didn't expect all my crabs to make it to jumbos but here we are with two crabs almost jumbo and the other 3 larges. They never seem to stop growing! So does anyone know where to get all these shells? I looked on etsy as some people suggested in the chat but there is no way that I will pay like 25$ per shell when I could possibly need over 20 of them! Is there some place where I can order a lot of them at once for less money?

Your best bets are either Naples Sea Shells or Richard’s Sea Shells.

As someone with XL/Jumbo crabs, as well, let me assure you their shells are going to be expensive. There’ve been times when my crabs were all in identical shells because they were the cheapest I could find.
