shells for E's in the medium range.
One of my E's is past the Babylonians range but now she's being super picky. What shells for med to large have all your E's chosen? And how well did that shell choice work out. Thanks

Most of mine are in rice field/grey snail shells. I also had one in a pearl turbo, but think he/she has switched recently and don't know what shell yet.

Re: shells for E's in the medium range.
Mine love moon snail shells. I get some from overseas ebay sellers, so it's expensive, though.
They don't like the whale or shark eye ones. The absolute favorites of my E's are a moon snail shells that I find myself on a beach in SE Alaska. I don't find very many in the med-large range though, so it's tough going. If you live in the northern part of Ontario, you might be able to find some on the beaches.

Mine love the orange moon shells (starry moon or natica stellata), but they are hard to find! Fluctuosis Turbos (aka Mexican or striped) are another huge hit, especially the polished ones. I think I only have one of about 6 medium Es in a babylonia.

Two of my E's are stubborn and won't change shells (even after more than a year!), but since we got him in February, Parker (an E) has changed into a tonna shell, then a tulip shell, and is now in a large polished turbo shell.

Re: shells for E's in the medium range.
Mine love Mexican turbos (also called striped). I have 2 Es in those, a small and a large, plus my large that I lost was also in one. They are lighter than regular turbos so I think that is why they like them.

ya I have a ton of those, hopefully they are good enough when they reach that size.
Re: shells for E's in the medium range.
my medium Es always wore turbos or fox shells.
