Great shells for E???

Post by rmbrmb »

Ok, I have looked ALL over the site and I could not find a topic like this. I have an E in a Whale eye shell and one in a painted shell. I NEED shell advice. The only shells I have seen E's in is whale eye.... anyone have an E in something diffrent. My poor E's shell is so so tiny on her. :(



Also, any tips on PP shells too? (not as urgent as the E though)

Our E's here mainly seem to prefer the turbo style shells but with a little bit of an oval opening to them. A few like the green turbo's but mainly the lighter weight brown tapestry style shells.
Our PP's here, prefer the brown lightweight tapestry shells and this shell:

My PPs love the green turbos and they like the other brown turbos. I dont have any Es right now but i have heard they like shark eyes and turbos.

they like shells with D openings. Baylonians, shark eyes or turbos. The opening is like a capitol D on its side.

I got a couple Whales eyes and Sharks eye shells right at the Jersey Shore Beach. Could not believe it.
