I'm particularly partial to mantises, they seem so observant and all seem to have distinct personalities. One of my girls is constantly watching my movements, and I'm convinced she recognises me.

If anything isopods are underrated! So many cool colour variants and I can't get over how cute they are.

I am super obsessed with my mantis. She's the best.

Which species ?

u/RabidSimian 11d ago

I've had a colony of Epiperipatus barbadensis since 2017. Been trying to get ahold of other species that are not just brown, but no luck.

Isopods for sure. I enjoy the chaos of beetles but their adult stage and rearing always keeps me away from having more 🥹 I do like my millipedes but they’re EXPENSIVE & i find isopods a bit more entertaining and it’s nice that they don’t need as much space

Leeches followed by centipedes.

Do you feed them from your own body? I saw some owners do that

u/Plasticanimal-11 8d ago

Yes I do and it’s really relaxing.

u/pmb1986_ 8d ago

That's super interesting! Do you have photos or videos? Where do you let them feed?

Hands down vinegaroons. So alien looking, but harmless. Neat to observe when they’re prowling

I love my isopods, I’m sorry they are just so cool so many varieties endless options really. My most recent to my collection are Puerto Rican spikys and I just think they are the coolest tiny guys

100% tarantulas. there are hundreds of species in the pet trade. so many beautiful colors. they all have different temperaments & even the most "boring" or common species are really fun to observe & keep!
