Hermit Crab Shell - Mexican Turbo - Natural - Opening Size 1" - (See our Etsy shop SECTIONS for more sizes)

The Mexican Turbo Shell—also known as Turbo Fluctuosus—is a top pick for hermit crabs, especially purple pinchers! These beautiful shells feature a natural finish and are never coated with any paints, lacquers, or harmful chemicals—just their natural beauty, safe and crab-approved.

Please note: The shell pictured is just an example—you’ll receive one that’s similar, but uniquely its own. Since these are natural shells, each one will have its own special coloring, pattern, and sometimes little imperfections formed by nature. Don’t worry though—every shell is hand-picked and inspected to make sure it’s water-tight, safe, and suitable for your crab. We also smooth out any rough edges around the opening to protect your hermit crab's delicate eye stalks. Each shell is also carefully selected, precisely measured, and packed with love to ensure it arrives safe and sound.

The size listed refers to the diameter of the shell's opening, measured just like in the listing photos.

Do you need help picking the right size? Just send us a message! We’ll ask for a photo of your crab with a ruler or tape measure across the opening (angled like the one in our pictures). From there, we can identify your crab’s species, current shell style, and fit, so we can give you the best shell recommendations possible.
