can someone help me find the right shell?
can someone help me find the right shell?
I have done some research and found a couple websites I can potentially get some shells from. The thing is these things are expensive and the last time I bought shells that said 2" (I thought that was the opening sizes) they were actually 2" for the whole shell. way too small. again, these things are expensive and if im going to spend this much on shells id like to have more confidence in what im buying. the all my crabs currently sitting in turn shells. can anyone help?

Etsy. If you want turbos look up "Turbo shells", and look at the description it will say what size and if its talking about the whole shell or opening. I know MT Pet Emporium has a little selection. I dont really remember any off the top of my head that give opening sizes.TheHerman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 06, 2021 8:01 pmI have done some research and found a couple websites I can potentially get some shells from.

I have ordered from Naples Sea Shells before, they measure the opening of the shell very accurately.

Like CS said, Naples is good. I've gotten a few orders from them and the shells are always nice. If you search under Hermit Crab shells, they tell you the opening sizes too. If you have purple pinchers, make sure to check out the shells with round openings.
