WTB: Large shells
I am looking for some fairly large shells for my scarlet hermit crab. He's bee trying on all the biggest shells I have, and has not settled on any of them. In fact he is sometimes running around naked
  I've been trying all the aquarium shops, craft shops etc. with no luck finding decent large shells. If you have some let me know please or if you have seen some somewhere to buy.

I've got some from when I had a large crab. I either got them at Michael's or at that craft store by Big Al's. You are welcome to any of the ones I have, if they are big enough (I've seen your crab.....
)

Michaels is where I got mine. They have these great little bags with all sorts of different size shells.

I bought one of those big bags of shells a couple of years ago at Micheals. This crab has now out grown the largest of the shells in it. I did manage to find one large one in the my collection that he seems to be trying on for size at the momenmt, but I'm sure he will soon look for a better one.
Just for reference, this is his last shell, so I'm looking for larger ones than this.

This picture is from about a year ago.
 I found a few shells on e-bay, but I'm just waiting for the auctions to near the end. We'll see what happens. Deb, thanks for the link, they have some on e-bay too.
