What's the weirdest invert you kept or have?

Oh, of course I have the worms - always forget about the worms... Not so much a pet, but they require about the same amount of care as a T (weekly feeding and watering, steady temp, etc.). Excellent trout bait and box turtle food, extremely prolific reproduction rate! View attachment 416432
I wonder what would happen if you tossed some seeds in there.

They sprout quickly. Most of their feed is a dry mix of ground corn and other grains, supplemented with fruit and veggie scraps (mostly spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, blueberries that have over-ripened). All of that stuff has seeds in it, and every week when I open the bins there are sprouts that I remove. I use the dirt to pot all my houseplants and to supplement the gardens (worm castings are sold in the stores for fertilizer, so I'm just producing my own ;)).

Forgot to mention, I also have a vinegaroon, sold to me as Mastigoproctus giganteus but I don’t think so, I’ve had them for 2 years now and they haven’t molted and they’re only like 3 inches, I’m 100% certain they’re female

When I was younger, I "kept" a colony of Bumblebees at one point if that counts. With kept I mean that I premade a nest for Bumblebees, a queen found it and made itself at home and I made sure to keep the garden wellstocked and the nest out of harms way.

I never got stung, then again I never really handled said bumblebees. Honestly, setting up bumblebee hides is something I'd reccomend to just about everyone. It helps both the Bumblebees and nearby gardens etc..
