spidtat



My name is Travis or you can call me spidtat. I am from Southern Indiana and I have lived here my whole life. I am married and I have 1 daughter (11) and 1 son (7). I am an Electronics Technician by trade but I am currently head of the Training Department. I like tattoos and have several myself but if that is not your thing no big deal either. My favorite kind of music is the Grateful Dead but I will listen to anything really.
I started crabbing in June of 2007 when my mother brought my daughter home with 2 of the ugliest little creatures I had seen in my life. The more I watched them the more fascinated I became with them. Unfortunately the first 2 did not survive due to my lack of knowledge so after that we decided to do our research before buying anymore. After getting everything setup properly I went out and purchased 2 more PP's and 2 E's which we still have 3 of to this day, the other passed due to PPS. I currently have 30 crabs, 6 species, in a 75 gallon tank which is the center piece of our living room. I also have my own store Keep On Crabbin' which has been open for a while now. I make food mixes and sell mixes from both Crabotanicals and Happy Hermit, if you get a chance check it out Wink the link can be found in the shopping tab on the right side of the screen. As for other animals I have 3 cats, 2 Tuxedo coated cats Nala and Sarabi, and 1 Maine Coon Kiara. They are as intrigued by the crabs as much as I am but luckily have never tried to get in the tank, and if they are smart they never will because NOBODY messes with my crabs!!!
All I can say now is Keep On Crabbin'!!!
