Extra shells for hermits around Plano?

One of my hermit crabs is on a mad rampage attacking my other snails and hermit crabs. I am guessing he wants a new shell (even though he is attacking smaller crabs too). Where is a good place to pick up some extra homes?

Thanks,

First you may try Dallas North Aquarium, or a LFS and see if they have any in their tanks, I picked 3 of them at DNA this Tues for .25 each. Also Jo Ann Fabric, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels Crafts carry shells. If you purchase these make sure they are not covered with clear paint. Also if you purchase these shells be sure to boil them in RO/DI water for 10 minutes to clean them, allow them to cool before throwing in the tank. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the help, I'm going to check out those places tonight. I have the sucker quarantined right now. Here is a nice pic of one it's attacks.
 
Ahh yes, the blue legged hermit. I'm convinced no matter how many shells you put in there, those hermits are going to attack your snails. I never keep more than a couple of those, if any.
