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!

Giant mallee centipede (Scolopendra morsitans) SA mallee form adultsLeeham Rawlins
July 22, 2021 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!!

August 9, 2022 Best jumper I’ve gotten so far! Came packaged nicely as always, the jumper also arrived in healthy condition upon opening package. At first I was worried about not seeing the jumper as it burrowed on the surface of the sand to make its silk bubble hide. I dropped a pinhead cricket in and left the spider to relax. The second day I noticed the jumper come out to appreciate some sun.. it has the same routine every morning and late afternoon of exploring and hunting around it’s enclosure. As well as being rather quite active it’s extremely beautiful and the patterns accompanied with the colours has me sitting there for minutes just watching. Always takes to food, no problems whatsoever. Just buy one when they’re stocked!!
