Where to buy empty cerith shells?

[Anihiel1]

Can anyone recommend where to buy empty cerith shells, preferably with overnight shipping...? Or does anyone have some they don't want...? I've looked online and find only decorative / craft shells as in jewelry etc. My blue leg hermit crabs have grown faster than expected and I have very few shells large enough- the current shells are approximtely 1-1/2" long. Saw them last night fighting over shells.

Check out reef cleaners not sure if they have some bud I enjoy purchasing from them.

where are u located? I have many empty shells that u can have free (not necessarily cerith shells, they're Trochus & Nassarius).

The Dollar Tree often has bags of shells appropriate for hermit crabs. The selection varies, but if theres one near you, its worth checking out. Cant beat the price!

I would ask any of the online vendors I’m sure if you buy some snails or something they could send you some for a few bucks or gratis

You gave me another idea- the craft store! Assuming they are not painted or dyed

I would LOVE to but I'm in Voorhees unfortunately- right outside Philly so about 3? Hours trip.

Lfs will probably give you a hand full, always some laying around the tanks empty.

You're looking in the wrong place or something:

Empty Hermit Shells

Empty shells that will make for great new homes for hermits as they get bigger. These shells cover micro to medium-sized hermits, like blue leg hermits. Got a larger hermit? You can find shells for...

www.reefcleaners.org

He's also got larger sizes - but its not worth it unless you're actually ordering some other stuff.
