Need a large Hermit crab shell, please help.

[jmet]

I have looked everywhere (searched google, contacted http://liveaquaria.com/ etc. with no luck) for a replacement shell for the common hermit crab in my aquarium.

He is rather large with a shell that is 4 inches long and with an opening of 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Can you help me find something a little larger that will work?

PS. I would like to see a pic of that big guy!!

[i have crabs]

i have one that is the size of a baseball i once got a shell at a store that sold them from in thier tank and i got one at bigals and one at a craft store
the original one is probably too small for me to send you and the others have been wrecked by the jerk
