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 starsOur crabs are enjoying their new aerated pools, and they're going to be so much easier to keep fresh and clean. The new addition makes our crabitat look snazzier too. If you're on the fence, order one! Excellent quality, easy to set up, and shipped quickly (especially considering it's a custom product) with excellent and friendly seller communication.

5 out of 5 starsSheldon seems to like it, we have had him 5 yrs a little to big to crawl through it, he likes to spend time just right inside it, Sheldon is becoming a lobster 😅

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 starsLove this store and the products. The food dish has larger portion cups and seems to keep the sand out pretty well.

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 starsGreat product! I love that I can take the water out to rinse and refill, while the exterior shell remains in place. Very functional design. It arrived very quickly and has no flaws. Customer service is amazing. Seller went above and beyond to help me with information and answer questions I had about caring for my new crabs. I got the wood color shell with the beige interior and it looks just like I hoped. Highly recommend!

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.
