Why keep insects as pets?
“Why would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?” you might ask. Personally I love the beautiful, strange shape of insects, their colours, diversity, unusual behaviour and interesting life cycle. And luckily, many other people all over the world discover the fun in keeping insects as pets!
Invertebrates such as praying mantids and stick insects are fascinating and quite practical pets. They come in beautiful shapes and colours. It is fascinating to see the animals hunt, grow, molt, lay eggs and see their methods of camouflage and defenses.
An additional practical advantage, is their modest requirements for housing, care and food. Compared to common pets like cats, dogs, rodents and birds they require less time and space. They are also harmless, allergy-free and their food is less expensive than the food of most commons pets. All this makes them an increasingly popular group of animals to keep as pets, for young and old people alike!

Happy with the little guy. His second left leg is shrunken looking compared to the others, but otherwise he's jumping and eating.
I would have liked to know some info about the spider I was getting at purchase or on the tub he came in.

Striped Grass Mantis (Archimantis sobrina) Captive Bred juvenilesashleeabos
April 22, 2022 Cannot complain at all happy I spent the extra to buy this spider loves it and looks great good quality! Mini Clear View Enclosurekylah stratford
October 29, 2022 I've got quite a few of these little enclosures at this point and I'm happy with every single one I've received. They're big enough to allow my tarantula slings to explore and the way the bottom is designed seems to encourage my burrowers to run their tunnels around the edge instead of disappearing into the middle. Visibility is great too, if you like to really see what your little spider is up to these are a good investment. Mini Clear View EnclosureJonty Norris
April 21, 2021 - Definitely value for money. Very impressed with the kits to.
