Thanks!
Ordered some shells from that site D'sCrabs. Going to try them out...
Also going to be ordering some other shells from a few other places.
So hard to find good shells at a decent price when they start getting bigger (and pickier!) haha

Re: Question on shells
No kidding! I'm to the point that shells for Marvin are costing about $5 or more EACH - hard to choose an assortment for him like for the smaller crabs, who I could get LOTS of shells for at decent prices. But - gotta do what ya gotta do!

Re: Question on shells
Yea! Just to give you an idea of how big she's gotten since I got her (about a year and a half ago?), here's some recent pics-post molt several days.
She's currently in the green turbo, and it seems to be a good fit for her.
I still can't believe the way she was when she first emerged from molting not too long ago..she shoved the little crabs (in the food bowl at the time) out of the way to get to the shell pile. 30 secs later, she was sporting a bigger shell-all while I watched!
edit: 5 minutes after posting that: I take that back...she is now currently back in the shell she switched out of after molting. Silly crab LOVES to shell shop!
edit: 10 minutes after posting previous edit: She is back in the Japanese snail shell...silly thing.
