HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Ok so since my last post I made I have gotten a whole new set up for my crab and even added a second crab. Another question I have though is, is it ok to get shells from a shell shop? I live in the Savannah coastal area and there is a shell shop here that has tons of different shells to choose from.

when buying any shells from anywhere i look for signs of paint, holes, cracks and other unsafe hermit hazards. i also will put my finger inside and check for rough edges. id just avoid buying any new hermit friends from a snail shop

Ok thanks for the advice!

of course! happy shell hunting!

Look to make sure there is no clear coating also

I'm assuming you've seen this already, but if not, here goes: http://hermitcrabassociation.com/phpBB/ ... 24&t=92552

It's the preferred shell guide. I hate wasting money, so I figured if you'd not seen it yet, you might appreciate knowing what kind of shells would work best for your crabs.
