Holy Turbos, Batman!

Post by soilentgringa » Fri Dec 12, 2014 4:07 pm

Okay so I received 4 turbo shells (ebay seller mygann) today. I bought all for for 24.00 and they're turbos with 1" to 1.5" openings.

One of them has a tiny hole in the top and I was wondering if that would be an issue for hermit crab wear? ImageImage

I think it will leak sub into the shell but they dig through anyway. As long as your pools are deep, crabs can clean it out when needed ;)

Oh yeah, my pools are quart sized tupperware containers with mesh ladders and shells at the bottom. The largest crabs can fully submerge. So they should be fine. If the hole gets larger or the shell gets damaged badly enough I'm sure he'll change on his own.
