One of the painted shell Hermits finally moved to another shell! But it seems that The shell he picked maybe a bit too big... I guess I'll have to wait and see...

ZooeylewCheck out this link... It tells what kind of shells the hermit favors. My crab wore a bad shell for years because I didn't know the right kind to get her.http://www.hermit-crabs.com/shellpics.html

Thanks!He has an okay shell and quite a few choices. Though it seems I should get some more. I have 15 shells in all but only four are his size... I think I'll get some turbos, Pretty sure thats what they are called.

They live love natural turbo shells. If they don't like a shell don't worry they will ditch it.

I have found that mine also like tapestry shells which are similar in shape but I think they are a lot prettier to look at. I figured this out because I have 1 of my crabs that came to me in a tapestry shell and I couldn't get it to switch to any other shells so I bought several of the tapestries in slightly different sizes so it could switch and then my others liked them too, so now I have to get more. I got them at either Deltona or Naples I don't remember which the links are in our link section though.
