One of my most favorite things ever is a Florida seashell tour, where you can explore islands that you wouldn't normally have access to. Florida has the best shells, and when you hit the right island to find them its pure shell heaven!
Take a shell tour with Ali and Carlos:

If people tell you you pick up too many shells they need to find another KZbin channel. I think you are wonderful!! It is just what you do and we love to watch, living vicariously through you.

I've read other comments that people have said ur taking too many shells, just ignore them. As long as they r only shells ur taking and nothing lives in them I really don't see the issue. I love ur enthusiasm in ur finds and ur unique talent to see the beauty in them even with their faults, shells r a gift from God and if u can turn them into something that makes u and others smile keep going ❤

Can you imagine what the beaches would look like if no one took any shells? There’d be mounds and mounds and mounds of shells. Great beach walk. The albino lace murex and the baby alphabet cones, and the pitted murex were my favorites this week. Honorable mention goes to the Rose murex today. These videos are always a great way to end my Sunday evenings. I hope we’re with you when someday you find that elusive Junonia .

I get to go more than the average person who lives where I live, but not nearly enough. I get so much out of these videos. Thank you for sharing your beach walks with us. I absolutely loved Kice the one time I got to go. Hopefully I can get back there soon, but until then, I’m just happy to go there on KZbin. 🥰

I guess I’m like everyone else, shocked that you had comments complaining you took too many shells. They must not have their glasses on because the beach is packed with shells!! You could take a big bucket every week and never ever empty the beach. Anyhoo, wow what a day!! That was so cool on so many levels!! It’s so amazing when you see the Florida Fighting Conchs in all sorts of shapes and colours(Browns, yellow, ivory and purple.). They all have the same shape and spikes but some are fat, some thinner, short and long. Then when you found the albino murex, THAT was sooooo cool!! A live cone was interesting. What I find interesting is that how the shell has such a sliver opening for the resident to come out of. Great Beach walk and video!! Next week Fort Myers, Yay!!! Have a great week and we’ll see you Sunday. 🥰🐬

You're so fortunate to live close enough to go shell finding so frequently. You must have a large room just for your shells. You pick up some really pretty shells. Thankx for the names, for I had no clue that there were so many different kinds of shelled animals. Because of your videos, I'm learning a few names. Can't wait until the next video adventure.

I have a place in corolla and just a few varieties to find here. I do like to pick up the oyster shells types in various coloring. Just picked up a large blow fish which I have never seen here before. Of course it was drying out already. I do like the dark blue scallop shells too. I have been to Sanibel and Captiva a few times and loved the shelling. I wonder when there will be fewer shells washing up in the gulf areas. When I watch her videos I feel like I am there with her. I am just amazed at what she can find in one day. I also purchased shells for my pleasure and decor since I have a VA home and a NC beach cottage.

Hi Sharmon! Looks like an amazing time on Kice Island. Such incredible finds. I loved it all. How cool you found a living cone. And it was so neat to see the Osprey. We have quite a lot of those along the the Columbia River here in the Pacific Northwest. We do see the occasional bald eagle too. When I was a park ranger in the Columbia Gorge, I could count on seeing this big Osprey nest built on a pier post along the river but near the freeway every time I went to work. Glad you have them in Florida too.

Most of the tours are around 4-5 hours long but you can take a shuttle over to Keewaydin and stay just about all day if you like! www.hemingwaywatershuttle.com

Sharmon, such beautiful shells and amazing creatures! I've been studying the Florida's Living Beaches book. I try to guess the shell before you say it. ☺️💖🐚

The reason that cone shell with inhabitants white parts look a slightly darker white colour is because the foot is darker grey usually, this gives a different tone thru the shell. I bred aquarium Mystery Snail and Rabbit Snails, with mystery snails there’s a colour list. The shell can be a yellowish gold colour but depending on the colour of the foot (which can either be dark or light) it then f]defines the outer colour which is what it’s colour coded by. A gold shell with a light foot is a Gold mystery snail, a gold shell with a dark foot is a Jade mystery snail (as the tone of the dark foot thru the shell makes it appear greenish. A purplish shell with a light foot is a Magenta, or Candy and a purplish shell with a dark foot is called a straight purple. There’s several more colourations also. They lay their eggs about an inch or two up out of the water on either aquarium glass, the lid or anything above water level. The clutches must stay dry for babies to develop n live. If the eggs are laid in a awkward place you can gently remove them and place them on damp paper towel in a plastic takeaway food container and float it on the water, this way the humidity will keep moisture around. The clutch of eggs looks like a bunch of pastel peach colours caviar, lol….after 2 to 3 weeks they will hatch and you can expect anywhere from 150 to 300 minuscule baby snails(snaibies as aquarist snail keepers call them ) they will Shloop or fall back into the water and grown live. I ended up with so many clutches of eggs that I gave them away to other fish keepers to experience hatchlings. The most ever snaibies out of one clutch was 309…😳🤪…yes I sat n counted everyone as I gently placed them back in the water after hatching. Not all will survive, but maybe 90% do. It was fun breeding them aswell as rare Rabbit snails (google them everyone they are awesome) Rabbits only have like 1 or 2 babies every 6 weeks or 2 month and they actually lay a live baby that starts as I small white thing then emerges out over the next couple of hours or so (I think it’s hours?) I did get to see a teeny white dot being laid by a rabbit snail but wasn’t really sure what it was. The next day I fin this wee lil pointy shell baby snail about 2 mm Long I that…it’s just magical . Wonders of nature always make me smile. 💙🙏🏻🐌🐡 I no longer have mystery snails and I sold my colony of Rabbit snails apart from one juvenile that was hiding n got left behind. Il either have to find it a buddy or pass it on. Sorry for waffling, I got excited when you were talking snail talk…lol Lisa Here a link to a snail colour chart .. www.fwgna.org/dillonr/MSCGP/mscgp.pdf

FASCINATING! I've actually been thinking about looking into getting an African land snail. Or an apple snail. I'll have to see what they eat and if they are easy to care for. Breeding snails sounds so fascinating! We used to breed love birds ❤️
