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!

The scorpion arrived safe and well 
Black Rock Scorpion (Urodacus manicatus) SA FormCrystal Mula
July 23, 2022 I've ordered two of these guys and the differences in them is awesome, the 1st is lighter than the 2nd. Both have already molted and are chowing down on their crickets. Amazing to watch hunting. 
Striped Grass Mantis (Archimantis sobrina) Captive Bred juvenilesMaddison Hardie
May 5, 2022 I was extremely impressed but unfortunately It actually escaped by accident 
Orange-legged swift spider (Nyssus coloripes) Forest FormChris Hall
January 23, 2022 Spider arrived healthy and full of beans, and was packed carefully. I love her, she’s just beautiful and a real little cutie 🥰

The Cube - Custom Acrylic Enclosuresylvia czarnowski
November 1, 2021 Absolutely LOVE her! She came super healthy and full of energy. She began eating immediately and is always jumping about. Put her in a 30×21×21 enclosure to give her tonnes of room and she loves running around. 
Red-headed hopper (Maratus griseus) regular formChloe Johnson
January 14, 2022 Very impressive speciman 
Coastal burrowing Scorpion (Urodacus novaehollandiae SA)Kevin Matthews
August 6, 2022 Absolutely adorable little spider. Arrived perfectly packaged and healthy, was also super polite and just walked straight into the enclosure. I've spent the last hour cooing over this little bub. 10/10 would recommend. Red-headed hopper (Maratus griseus) regular form

I only ordered the substrate but very happy with the texture 
Customisable General Scorpion KitDaniel Mead
January 16, 2022 Happy with it. Came with everything and seems to be good quality. Haven't used it yet as the spider isn't big enough to move in.

May 11, 2022 Nice colours and healthy petes. I got 2. They are so nice.

November 14, 2022 This little critter arrived in tip top condition and has settled into his new home. First scorpion but I think we'll be hooked and be back for more 
Orange rock scorpion (Lychas truncatus)ashleeabos
April 22, 2022 Great value and a really nice size for a tarantula sling or advanced sling. I'm glad i ordered the kit with the fake plants. They look great in the enclosure!

Red-headed jumping spider (Maratus griseus) 'Leopard form'Tamika T.
December 5, 2021 - Arrived happy and healthy! Feliz was packed perfectly inside the cube custom acrylic enclosure I bought. It's amazing to watch Feliz hunt, jump around the cube and wave his little legs around. Couldn't be happier and would definitely buy more jumping spiders from here in the future.
Green-Tailed Peacock Spider (Maratus pavonis, Perth WA form) MaleMikaela Halliday
November 19, 2021 So happy with what recieved spider is in great condition and the box was packages safely. Absolutely love my spider! 
Princess Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) Femalekylah stratford
October 29, 2022 Absolutely love this enclosure.
It’s 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 xMini Clear View EnclosureCourtney E.
