Hermit Crab Shells

[frollo]

After some consideration of where I should post this, I decided the best place is the lounge...because technically this post isn't aquatic...so please relocate this post if necessary.

I remember reading (while lurking around), someone had posted, perhaps a year ago, they were looking for a source for hermit crab shells.

I, having decided to refuse to pay the obscenely marked up pet store shell prices, had resorted to going to local craft stores for shell packs and hoping to find at least one or 2 useable shells only to be disappointed, so I had finally to decided to begin my quest for mail order shells.

I am happy to recommend this US site as I have just ordered and received 12 shells (3/4", 1" and 1.25" sizes)  for a very reasonable price including shipping and exchange of less than 16$ Canadian. (I had placed the order mid week and received the order the following week.) My smallest crab (the poster crab for "When does a crab need a new home?") has finally relocated to a new home.
