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!

Spiny Leaf Insect (Extatosoma tiaratum) nymphsVanja J.
November 28, 2022 Arrived in Vic fast and safe. Healthy lil guy (or girl!), been eating fine, wasn't long before I could see webbing around the burrow entrance! Great little enclosure to start off with. I prefer live plants to plastic ones, so added some washed moss, and later some leaf litter and springtails. Plastic plants are still fine for now to give some vertically.
And most importantly, fantastic support from the staff with all my "new to tarantulas" questions!!
Mallee Tarantula (Selenotholus sp. Kotzman) Advanced SlingsPaul McMaster
March 2, 2022 - Beautiful little sling. It was larger than I expected so that was a bonus 😊👍
Overnight it had webbed up a little burrow amongst a bit of sphagnum moss in its new enclosure. When it was happy and settled I fed it 3 pinheads and it smashed them all in a matter of minutes. Very happy with my new little tarantula.
Pygmy Rainforest tarantula (Coremiocnemis tropix) SlingsJoshua Bowker
March 26, 2022 Way bigger than I expected and unfortunately I cannot see any red on mine, but nontheless beautiful animal. Very active, immediately hunted down a cricket. Loves to climb around the enclosure. 🕷️

June 12, 2022 Nice, solid centipede. Super fast and healthy, with the typical Nuda freak out moves.
