What InvertebratesDoes Everyone Keep?

[Raghild]

I'm just curious what sort of invertebrates everyone else keeps (or has kept).

I'm looking to expand my collection soon and looking for ideas.

I'm already planning to add millipedes, emerald roaches, blue death feigning beetles, and some additional isopod species. No centipedes though (promised my husband)

I keep orange head roaches, Dubias , mealworms, tarantulas. A few ispods I caught left. My collection is small down to lowest number in ages .
There’s tons of inverts I’ve not kept .
Plus centipedes Aren’t dangerous I just don’t get them because I have to order them online and probably hide them in my bedroom . Eventually someone would notice a giant one ..
I had some tiny stone ones felt bad let them free… they but we’rent big enough to do much with and I wc them . They couldn’t even eat roaches full grown .
I’ve mostly only ever kept Dubias and , tarantulas. The other are newer . I’ve had an emperor Scorpion once too didn’t last long it was old when I got it .

You should definitely get some budwing stick insects (Phaenopharos khaoyaiensis) ! They were my first inverts and they were so cool. They live for about a year, and the females reproduce asexually. They eat bramble, I fed mine cuttings off of blackberry bushes and they would be good for a whole week.

I currently have some giant pinkfoot millipedes (Narceus americanus). They're the cutest things ever and they're so gentle. I go out into the woods and look for dead leaves and some dead hardwood, a good way to tell if you've found the right kind is if there are pill bugs eating it up. I just toss a bunch in there and they're good for a month or so. Only downside to keeping these guys is that their environment is perfect conditions for gnats and fruit flies to breed like crazy, so its a constant headache trying to get rid of em.

I keep Dubia roaches, mealworm, superworms, various species of isopods, and regal jumping spiders.
I am fairly new to keeping spoods but have quickly become addicted!

Tarantulas and a scorpion

Let's see, my main love will always be roaches... but I also keep lots of darkling beetles, isopods, click beetles, and then some more niche things like moth flies, leeches, harvestmen, pseudoscorpions, springtails, assassin bugs, bark/booklice, etc..

Niche stuff is exactly what I was looking for

Things that I might not have even considered, or forgotten about.

I loved click beetles as a kid! I never knew that was their actual name. It's just what we called them because of the clicking

And thank you everyone for the ideas! I appreciate it!
