HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hello!!
We inherited two large hermit crabs from a family friend who passed away in December of 2021. When we inherited them, we had received several (approximately 20) shells that the hermit crabs could use, that were larger than their current shells.
Well, we have recently reached the point where we are starting to need more larger shells but I am having a really hard time find them, without spending $20+ on just one shell, or finding shells that would fit but they are out of stock.
I don't have a problem spending that, but would prefer looking elsewhere before having do that.

Right now, we are looking for shells with a opening of 1.5" to 2.0"

Does anyone have any idea were would be a good and reputable place to get them from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you!!
Kait

Large shells are super expensive. Have you looked at Naples Sea Shells or Richard's Sea Shells?

I have not tried Richard's Sea Shells. When I looked at Naples Sea Shells, they have larger and smaller sizes than I need.
My little nuggets have to be sizes that they don't have. I'll have to send an email over to them, to see when they are getting more in.

Thank you!!

Try CrabbyKatesCrabShack on Etsy. She has the sizes you need, but the shells are $18-$20 a piece.
