Are these Painted Hermit crab shells okay?
I am usually against any painted shells but I started to research and I found one website claiming to have peel proof painted shells:
http://www.shells-of-aquarius.com/hermit_crab_shells.html
and another website saying they had “hermit crab safe painted shells”
:http://www.shells-of-aquarius.com/hermit_crab_shells.html
What do you think? Do you believe them? Let me know!
you posted the same website twice … and no i would not use those shells … no paint is going to last will eventually chip off … they say the paint won’t peel off but they don’t say it won’t chip off … they don’t say the paint is non-toxic … and the number one rule of keeping hermit crabs is no painted shells …
