Ā Why keep insects as pets?
āWhy would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?ā 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!

Good little encloser but i think he wants to make a little home in the top right corner so i may have to change it around so i dont ruin his webs. Other than that its a really good encloser š

Gold-spotted huntsman (Isopedella saundersi) captive-bred juvenilesClaudia Faist
August 9, 2022 Super super cute! Very well packaged as usual and super active as well. Took food in the first couple hours and adjusted very well to the "beach boi enclosure" which was the perfect size. Beautiful colouring and super happy with the temperament and previous care of the spider 
Salt lake wolf spider (Teteralycosa eyrei)
January 20, 2022 Absolutely love this enclosure.
Itās the perfect size for a small jumper. The screw top lid makes maintenance/feeding/interaction with my spider easy and much less distressing for her and myself (a beginner keeper with arachnophobia).
Conveniently portable and makes spotting your smaller/juvenile jumpers much easier too.
Very fast delivery. Looking forward to ordering more x
