Hi, I’m Travis — a lifelong tinkerer, builder, and animal lover. By day, I work as the Chief Architect for a large health tech company, where I help design complex systems that impact millions of lives. But when the laptop closes, I head to my workshop, where I get to continue doing what I love most: robotics, 3D printing, and creative design, in a way that improves the lives of humans and animals.
This shop grew out of that passion. I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can make life better — not just for people, but for the pets and critters we care about, too. Using my engineering background, I design fun, durable, and safe habitats and accessories that bring out the best in their tiny adventurers.
Every item in my shop is something I would proudly use for my own animals, and I hold myself to the same standard I do in my professional work: precision, care, and innovation.
For me, this isn’t just about selling products — it’s about sharing the joy of making, the love of animals, and the belief that even small creatures deserve big imagination.

5 out of 5 starsAdorable and very well crafted. The suction cups are great for securing it to my tank wall. Thanks for crafting my order so carefully and for the friendly and thorough communication.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely amazing! I love everything about this - the gorgeous stairs, the cute sign, the removable tray. The rainbow crab platform of my dreams. Shop is amazing and seller supports hermit crab rescue.

5 out of 5 starsOne of my pools began leaking and flooding my tank. So we were relying on this pool for the hermies. Not only is the seller friendly but has a strong passion for making this safe for them. They test it before they send it out and I love the valves on it. This bubbler is definetly an amazing feature and makes my crabitat have a deluxe feature. love this ❤️ it was worth the wait

5 out of 5 starsI love this shelf!!! I didn't need the legs I have it set on top of corkwood on the side towards the tank and sucker's on the other side. Good ones too they hold!!! The stairs are cool and stackable so you can adjust height.

5 out of 5 starsAmazing pools! I've had 3d pools but a couple of my guys had a hard time climbing and holding on the steps. They would fall off and in the pools. Fast forward two sets of 3d pools I saw these and I'll never go back. I love these pools. They are ground level and makes it easy for small and large hermit alike. Thr bubbler system is cool too how it holds the tubes. It does splash on the glass so you'd have to either wipe it or put moss there. I haven't figured that part out yet but it's not a big issue. I can always turn it around if I can't figure it out. Other than the splash I love it all!!!!

5 out of 5 starsI have one of these in each tank. The snap out trays are great for making food changes as neat as possible. Perfectly printed and packaged. This shop really cares about the welfare of hermit crabs.

5 out of 5 starsI didn't need the legs like I thought I would, but they are sturdy legs that if needed would hold the shelf up nicely.

Hi, I’m Travis. I design and build things for fun and curiosity — from robotics and fabrication to 3D printed habitat systems. HQ Shell Club grew out of that mindset: experimenting with better ways to build environments for hermit crabs.
