    Would anybody have a large shell - on the order of a full grown zebra turbo shell, which has an opening of 3/4-7/8" - sitting around?  Or larger?
    I bought a "reef safe" hermit from an internet vendor and it appears I got a male and female of the same species.  They both came at 1/2", the male is now 1.5-2" and the female is a good 3-3.5" in leg span and I'm having issues finding shells large enough for it.  No telling what full size will be.
    Thanks

    I've got 3 mexican turbo shells that I think meet that bill.  By my measurement, 2 are 3/4" and I think 1 is 7/8".  You're welcome to them.

    Awesome, thanks Jeanette! My silly little not-so-reef-safe hermit thanks you.

    How should I get in touch with you to pick them up?

    Hi Ryan,
    I headed out of town at the moment (only for the day).  Back around 5pm.  Home all week-end - just in and out of the house for errands, etc.
    You can call me - 222-0747.  Or leave me a PM on when you'd like to stop by.

    That should work.  I might go to the downtown Farmer's market tomorrow morning, but will be home by late morning.
