Clean up hermits shells

[Big Pete]

I live in a rural area, thus I do evrything on-line rather than lfs. Any suggestions on where to order spare shells for the basic sw Hermits (Dwarf Blue leg, scarlet reef) etc.?

Duh... Just realised you are in Santa Barbara! Lived in Glendora and Orange county for a lot of years. Yeah, That would be great if we could work out something. I would gladly pay shipping. I am not in any great hurry so whenever it works out.

cool! no beach near u?...but fore sure this week i should be going to the beach ..and i have some around..how many u need? i have some old turbo shells. what size also?

 

[Big Pete]

Not sure on sizes just yet. Should know by Tues. Ordered clean pack on line. I would say 30 of varying sizes (on the mid to large end) should be a good start assuming they are not too big by the time I get them.
