cool! I need to get some bigger shells for my hermits! Wonder what will happen if I never give them bigger shells...
They're growth will stunt for a little bit, but they'll eventually die. If you have snails, they will kill the snails and steal their shell.
Great pic FLPRIEST. That's the largest Mexican I've seen. Mine are all tiny and don't grow that fast so he's got to be old.

I've tried to get some better pics of him, but I'm limited by my camera... He's the biggest I've seen so far as well. I'm thinking he is one of my original occupants from3 + years ago. and they were all small then. Thanks for the nice comments!

I bought a bunch of mexican hermits last week and was amazed at how big they were...I must be used to getting the very young ones, because most of these are too big for astrea shells...there were a couple that were in conch shells that were about 2 inches long.
