A decent online shell place

They even seem to know what hermit crabs need and the prices seem reasonable. I have not bought from them but I may when I need more shells as I just ordered from the crabbage patch again yesterday for shells for my big guy puppy.

Due to family issues my crabs have been adopted out to wizkidsmom (Cheryl), I know she will care for them like I did. Thanks Cheryl

Thanks Chermo! I don't know of a place locally that has shells, yet, and this looks like a great place to shop! I think it will even be worth the postage with shells as cheap as they have them here.
I sent them an email to ask how much postage would be, since some places are crazy high. These guys state they don't overcharge for shipping, so it sounds really good!
Next, I have to measure the little fellers claws!

I am actually excited to find this place, I did order a shell sizer from the crabbagepatch and I want to measure what they are all currently in and get some more from maybe this store depending on shipping costs. The crabbage patch also does exact shipping, they refunded my what they overcharged once when I ordered from them.

One thing to try to get just SHELLS in general, CrabbyJo, is to look on ebay for lots of 75 or more shells for like $10. Those get you a fairly decent range of sizes, and I now have tons of everything from tiny to a GIANT shell with an opening over 1.5" (I'm not sure how to measure D shaped openings - along the line of the D or from the line to the widest part of the round side?)! I doubt I'd ever need it, but if I ever hear of someone who does, I'll definitely help them out.
