Shells Needed!

Post by piratetoothgir » Mon Apr 02, 2018 1:57 pm

Anyone know where I can get cheap shells for smaller crabs?
We need shells that are not quite an inch on the opening, and some that go larger than that.

PetCo sells smaller crabs, so they need smaller shells than what I currently have.

Try hobby lobby and Michael's. They sell bags of shells. That's where I got most of my smaller shells.

I have always ordered my smaller shells from Naples Sea Shells.

I needed some small D shaped shells for a little E I have and I got them off Etsy. Good prices and low shipping.

Thanks, everyone! I am no longer needing any shells, just got a shipment in today.
I purchased a bunch of silver mouth turbos, and two carved tapestry turbos.
