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!

My sweet little Bivi arrived super fast, healthy and happy. Set up her home and within minutes she was hunting some pin head crickets. Had made her hammock within a couple of days. She is awesome! I suspect this could become adictive!! 
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper (Menemerus bivittatus)Bianca Shepherd
March 7, 2022 LOVE this product! It’s my second from this store as the first one was just what I needed for small spiders. Excellent craftsmanship, super easy to use and clean and lockable to prevent the kids accidentally releasing pets into the house! Can’t go wrong.

Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsShannon Giles
August 20, 2021
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 😁 The Cube - Custom Acrylic EnclosureShellyanne Nixon
July 15, 2021 Such a cute little baby! I can't wait for it to grow up! I will try to make a YouTube video eventually on the progress of all the pedes I've got off y'all 💖

Substrate - Choose from 3!Chris Hall
October 16, 2022 Arrived very alert and very speedy. Smaller than I expected but at least I can watch him/her grow. The kit is basic with a enclosure, substrate and fake plant. No hide or even small piece of bark for them to hide under so will have to find something to put in there. Otherwise very happy with my new spider friend.

February 9, 2022 Great value for money, perfect size for my jumping spiders. Recommend
