Finding the right shell size

I need help finding the right shell size but the thing is that both of my crabs are molting (M&M just went down yesterday and Hallow went a few weeks ago) and I don't have a ruler to measure them and I couldn't go out to get one either due to personal reasons they're both purple pinchers and I'm aware that they like turbos and round openings anyways how I can get the right shell size without being able to measure them and where should I buy the shells from?

If you can’t measure you’ll have to guess-timate. It’s not a reliable method so you may have to buy a few different sizes that are close.
Some craft stores or seashell gift shops will have shells, otherwise online retailers like Naples Seashells or Richard’s Seashells are pretty reliable.

Most crabs won't fuss about 1/8 to 1/4 inch jumps in size, so it never needs to be "perfect".
