How big do blue leg hermits get?

I have at least a dozen hermits left from my 35 gal package started in Sept. They, and about the same number of snails, have managed to live peacefully with the resident mantis that I decided to keep.
Most of the hermits have moved into abandoned (or evicted) snail shells but I'm starting to wonder how long it will be before they outgrow those shells.
What is the expected size of these hermits and should I be looking at putting some new (larger) housing on the market?

Thank you,
John

They shouldn't get much bigger than an inch or inch and a half I'd say..if even that big.

correct....astrea snail size is as big as they get....
