This is an old post. It would be great if it works the way the author claims. But the artice is from 2004, so my guess is that they decided, for whatever reason, not to mass produce the shells.

There also is another person who's created glass shells for hermies. He claims tha crabs prefer the glass ones 2:1 when offered a variety of shells.

It would be great to be able to help hermit crabs from the struggle they have in the wild to try to get decent shells.
