Can anyone recommend where to buy empty cerith shells, preferably with overnight shipping...? Or does anyone have some they don't want...? I've looked online and find only decorative / craft shells as in jewelry etc. My blue leg hermit crabs have grown faster than expected and I have very few shells large enough- the current shells are approximtely 1-1/2" long. Saw them last night fighting over shells.

The Dollar Tree often has bags of shells appropriate for hermit crabs. The selection varies, but if theres one near you, its worth checking out. Cant beat the price!

I would ask any of the online vendors I’m sure if you buy some snails or something they could send you some for a few bucks or gratis

You gave me another idea- the craft store! Assuming they are not painted or dyed

You're looking in the wrong place or something:


He's also got larger sizes - but its not worth it unless you're actually ordering some other stuff.
