Hermit Crab Shells Question

[RipCurl]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to use crab shells sold at a local craft store after they have been boiled?

I have a couple blue legged hermits that will need some new homes ...

Thanks,

Tristan

I bought a big bag of sea shells from walmart, for like $5 and picked through them, then boiled them, they switch quite frequently it seems. I even have one in an astrea snail shell ATM..

Nice! Those are pretty cool. Appreciate the input, seems like it would save me a lot of time looking for new ones...

I bought my crab shells from the dollar store and my hermits love them.
