I have at least 2 empties per every taken one all various sizes as well.
i got mine a couple different places. the first ones i got i went down to the shore and picked up about 10 empty periwinkle shells. i've gotten some shells from 2 local stores and i've put all dead snail shells back into the tank. (my hermits don't like the astrea snails, maybe they are too heavy?)
some craft stores sell hermit shells also, but they seem to be bigger than what my hermits can use (hopefully they never get that big). or, you can buy them here, but for some stupid reason they are considered live goods instead of dry goods and have to be shipped with a $70 order.
