Quality and quickness were great, but opening dimensions are smaller than described. Not beneficial as shells were to be for growing hermit crabs and precise opening measurements would have eliminated a purchase, ship & refund.

My hermit crab was in a shell way too small for him, he’d outgrown it long ago. I tried everything to get him to move into some other shells, but he wouldn’t. He just didn’t like something about those shells. I bought this one because the reviews looked good. I left it in the tank at an enticing angle, put a little salt water in it (because I read that will attract them). What do you know my daughter ran in with the shell the next day, he’d moved in! It was the perfect fit, he looked very happy. So of course this deserves 5 stars, and I highly recommend them for your hermit crabs.

The shells were a little smaller than I expected and I was worried my hermit crab could not use them. Apparently, he disagreed. He jumped right in! The shells are very pretty and arrived undamaged.

These shells are great! Just what our Hermie needed. He’s been investigating shells so we knew he was ready to move, but our shells were just too small. They arrived carefully packed in bubble wrap, we boiled them in distilled non iodized salt to sanitize. One opening is quarter sized and the other is bigger. Good quality, smooth shells with NO rough edges or chips. He immediately jumped on the smaller shell, measured it up, spun it around a few times and moved right in wasting no time! After a quick nap, he’s cruising around like a boss!!! Love that we nailed it on the first round of new shells!

This shell is a real shell and has a excellent quality, in my opinion it’s beautiful. Its size is perfect, as it appears in the picture. My hermits crabs changed into their new shell, I am satisfied with this purchase.

My hermit crab absolutely LOVES these shells. It came with 2 shells, one slightly bigger than the other. The shells were only in the tank about a half hour before my crab moved right in! She is having so much fun jumping back and forth to all 3 shells. She changes multiple times a day, almost like getting dressed for they day and putting PJs on later. LOL. The opening is about an inch to inch and a half. They are the perfect size for my growing crab who had outgrown all the other brands that call their shells medium to large.

I bought these for my hermit crabs who are outgrowing their current shells. I haven't been able to find the right size anywhere - the openings are either smaller than what the crabs now have or huge and way too big. The openings on the ones I received were much bigger than anticipated, but better than what I've found locally, so I would have put them in the tank and hoped they would eventually grow into them, however, one of the shells had a triangle shaped chip broken off of the edge, leaving a sharp point on part of one edge. This makes it useless for my crabs. It did NOT break in shipping because the chip was not inside the bag they came in. So there is a lack of quality control here and they shipped me a pretty badly chipped shell either without noticing or without caring. I don't appreciate having to go to the time and trouble of sending it back, but back it goes. If you are buying just for decoration, you could set it down so the opening didn't show and the chip could be hidden, so it would probably work ok. I would NOT recommend for hermit crabs.

When they arrived I was worried that they would be too big and heavy for my hermit crabs, but both shells were quickly snatched up and the crabs seem to love them.
