HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Hello! I was recently looking at hermit crab shells and noticed that at around the 1.5in turbo opening size there aren’t very many choices. I usually buy my crabs as many different types of shells I can and l noticed the numbers are dwindling. There are some larger D shaped openings, but my PPs have never shown interest in any of the D shaped openings I have bought in the past. My crabs are below that sized shell opening for now. Do people buy all jade turbos when their crabs have 1.5in opening and larger shells. I can’t find very many shell options over that size. Do you just only buy jade turbos for your larger crabs or is there some other shell that I’m missing? Thank you!

You are correct that there aren't many larger shell types to choose from. Turbos is all I have in my tank for my jumbo - and he has been in the same one for probably 2 or 3 years now LOL.

Thank you! That is good to know!
