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!

Think I need a few more, lol
Thanks Bug Frenzy : )

Gold-spotted huntsman (Isopedella saundersi) captive-bred juvenilesClaudia Faist
August 9, 2022 Great little enclosure purchased for my juvenile jotus sp. A good size with lots of roaming space and room to add enrichment pieces without him getting lost. It was easy to add extra mesh in the top to prevent escape through air holes if you also have an extra small spiders . Very good quality enclosure. Mini Clear View Enclosurekristy hawkins
