Dyed Metallic Phasianella variegata
My hermit crabs' favourite:
Phasianella australis
Is it legal to take empty shells from the beach? I know it sounds like a silly question, but I heard it was illegal to take sand from the beach, so I'm not sure if the laws apply to shells too.
It's interesting how our Aussies wouldn't normally encounter pheasant shells in the wild (since they thrive in the north while the snails are down in the south), yet mine love their shells so much.
I'm having trouble finding an Australian online store that shell Phasianella australis shells. So far all I've found are Americans on eBay selling them and I feel silly buying from them, since they imported the shells from Australia in the first place. This store sells them, but they are still smaller than the one Eris is currently wearing.
