ANTMART Difficulty: For experienced keepers SKU: SKU-S-007-04Why invertebrates are fascinating
Scorpions have existed for more than 400 million years and glow blue-green under an ultraviolet lamp. A moulting tarantula sheds its old skin in one piece and emerges bigger and brighter, and females of some species live 15–20 years or more. Isopods in a bioactive terrarium recycle waste and become a fascinating colony in their own right.
Why they are easy to keep
- A terrarium takes up little space.
- They rarely need feeding: adult scorpions and spiders eat every week or two.
- They are quiet and odourless.
Where to start
Beginners do well with peaceful animals: isopods, millipedes and calm terrestrial tarantulas. Even calm tarantulas are not for handling: American species flick urticating hairs that irritate skin and eyes. Centipedes, plus scorpions and Asian or African tarantulas with potent venom, are for experienced keepers and need a lockable terrarium and long forceps. Before buying, check the temperature, humidity and terrarium type your species needs, and whether keeping it is legal in your country.
