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 starsThis is really cool and the magnet on the back is really big so I don't worry about it scratching the glass. My hermie Bernice really likes it! 10/10!

5 out of 5 starsA perfect size for my 120 gal. aquarium. I like how they are set up with box you take pools out of. My purple pinchers are large and a good size for them. This will be one of my go to stores.

5 out of 5 starsI couldn’t be happier with the shell shelf! The craftsmanship is amazing, with great attention to detail and a beautiful finish. They are sturdy, lightweight, and look even better in person than they did in the photos. Shipping was fast, the items were packaged with care, and the seller was wonderful to work with. It's clear a lot of thought and creativity goes into these designs. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely be ordering again!

5 out of 5 starsThese are very nice and as described but be careful and learn from my mistake that pouring boiling water over the insert will make is very soft almost melting it and when it cools, it will be warped. I typically build all things prior to putting in the crab tank but it was a bad idea here.

Oh no, Jade! Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your experience! Our products are 3D printed from PLA, which can soften if exposed to boiling water or excessive heat. For cleaning, we recommend hot water (up to 125F) rather than boiling temperatures. We also offer select products in PETG upon request (can handle closer to 170F) and we now have a polypropylene (PP) version for customers seeking dishwasher safe pools (which can handle boiling water - 212F). We appreciate your feedback and are glad you otherwise enjoyed the product! I will reach out to you directly to make sure everything is otherwise OK.

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.
