SURVEY: Which arthropods have you kept before or are you keeping now?

I kept: crickets, desert locusts, migratory locusts, Annam stick insects (2), tree mantis (3).
I keep now (11.12.2009): locusts are migratory (approximately 20-30 individuals).

I advise you to keep arachnids (tarantulas, scorpions, etc.). They are relatively unpretentious, long-lived and simply interesting. Here is a photo of my pet he arrived from Egypt in December 2005 and still feels great smile.gif

Feed the crickets?

Feed the crickets?

In winter: crickets, cockroaches, etc., and in summer: grasshoppers, fillies (a couple of times even young lizards viviparous ate) .

Сейчас есть: Паучки - Brachypelma emilia, B. albopilosa, Grammostola rosea, G. aureostriata, Psalmopoeus irminia, Pterinochilus chordatus, Citharischius crawshaiy, Acanthoscurria geniculata, Chilobrachys huahini. Scorpions: Pandinus imperator. Кивсяки Archispyrostreptus gigas. Cockroaches: Blaberus crniifer, Gramphadorrhina potentosa, Therea petiveriana, T. sp. and some others, I don't remember. Stick insects: Sungaya inexpectata, Phaenopharos khaoyaiensis, Aretaon asperrimus and several other species in eggs.
Well, to the heap of offtopic vertebrates-newt Tylototriton verrucosus and geckos Eublepharis macularis different morphs.
Forage crops include cockroaches Nauphoeta cinerea and Panchlora nivea, black-bodied beetles Zophobas morio, and woodlice Trichorchina potentosa.

Those that were, but died for one reason or another: spiders Avicularia vrsicolor (took the smallest larvae L1, vidmo could not pick up the conditions, this species is generally very capricious in childhood), solpuga Galeodes sp. (I don't know what went wrong. Few people manage to keep solpugs on Terra. Mine was brought to me from Dagestan. For the first few days, she ate, then for some unknown reason stopped. Lived for six months and died), Scolopendra Scolopendra cingulata (raised from a teenager, lived a long and caring life, died of old age), kiwis Ephibolus pulchripes, Dendrostreptus macracanthus (for some reason it didn't work out with them, gradually died out), stick beetle Medaura jobrensis (there were two individuals, one died as a larva, the other lived for the prescribed period, but there was no one to continue the family)
Well, again vertebrates - tree climbers Phyllobats vittatus, Heterixalus punctatus

P.S. And here I advised you to keep mol.gifit, however: Decide for yourself (I have it for the fifth year and never "fucked up")... The main thing is not to use your fingers to climb smile.gifit .

Do you live alone? smile.gif  smile.gif  smile.gif

Yes, I just keep it carefully (I don't get too close to it with my fingers
, and it can't climb up the vertical wall).
And I live with my grandmother (she is instructed in this regard). This is me at one time such gifts were made (previously there were 2-one oak gave, now it is in the collection) smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

I keep Avicularia vrsicolor-1 pc., Brachypelma boehmei-1 pc., Sphodromantis Egyptian - 17 pcs., House cricket - 2 pcs., several Madagascar cockroaches, teliphon - 1 pc. and several pieces of stick insects-Annam and arethaons.

No one keeps imported boggies? For example, orchid, ghost, deoplatis, flower, etc. I want to start, but in Moscow and near nenashel.

09.03.2010 19:17, Elion

MHM-contact Sergey (he periodically gives ads on the forum), you can also contact the author of the blog mantis-suport.livejournal.com, it periodically has interesting views.

11.03.2010 13:54, vasiliy-feoktistov

Today I have to straighten my scorpion for the collection (I found it dead). Nevertheless, he lived with me for almost 5 years. I advise you to pay attention.

Do you want a little experience? Tease him with a squirrel brush (attacks instantly)smile.gif.
It is also worth considering that he lived so long with me when he came to me as an adult (for all the time he never shed). I don't know what age you are, but if you shed, you will live even longer (rather unpretentious). Good luck!
Oh, and one more thing: don't forget to give him a drink (he likes to drink). Moisten the cotton wool and throw it to him (he will suck the moisture out of it).

He refuses to drink water. I don't know why. I'm already carefully stroking it, though, while behind or on the tail. This is Omar, it just so happens that I changed my nickname.

Why is there no ants option? There are also a lot of people who keep them. For example, I now have several young families.

23.09.2010 17:13, Arikain

And I have a Madagascar cockroach for 3 years already. For ve time shed only once.

23.09.2010 17:19, vasiliy-feoktistov

It is worth starting a couple, they breed noticeably. And they shed quite often (I kept them myself earlier). For proper molting, it is necessary to give chitin (dead butterflies, such as a peacock's eye of some kind).

better cottage cheese and eggshells. and they shed often while they're growing. Old ones almost do not shed

24.09.2010 15:32, Arikain

I didn't feed them eggshells or cottage cheese. I think now there will be no shedding, since somewhere 2.5 years have passed since the molt. I feed him egg white and yolk, he eats a lot, probably it suits him. The tomato also eats well. I give him a loaf, bread, and crumbs.
Also eats, probably, but worse, and devours so many different things. It hissed earlier, but now it's stopped. I keep it in a dark place, cockroaches have heard that they like the dark.

More carrots and cabbage. And cereal "Hercules" scalded with boiling water, they ate with pleasure. Darkness, high humidity and heat they really like it you're right.

21.03.2011 13:09, Amplion

And why are there no bedbugs in the questionnaire? I think that tropical carnivores (and our reduvids and azopins) are also an interesting option for keeping.

21.03.2011 14:25, Mantispid

Yes, in general, the questionnaire is kind of strange, there are not even my pets-scorpions =*(
I had to vote for beetles, they all contain zofobos)))

16.05.2011 14:55, AGG

Yes, there aren't many options frown.gif
kept and periodically keep: spiders, beetles, butterflies, praying mantises, stick insects, cockroaches, slugs, snails
Ilya, and where is your scorpion?

Of the arthropods, I keep mealworm, marbled cockroaches, dubea and Ectobius pallidus (they were bred from ootechs found in nature, there is no brood yet, only recently the first imagos appeared so I don't know whether to count or not). Also some kind of Zophosis, similar to punctata, but not sure (also savage).
Recently arranged a container with earwigs, whether they will take root or not... we'll see. While alive, they eat.

13.06.2011 17:58, Танав

I keep bird-eating spiders. At the moment there are 10 types in the collection. I expand regularly...

08.08.2011 11:50, Трофим

I voted for stick insects, because these animals lived the longest and reproduced the most productively, cockroaches also did not reproduce badly, but due to the limited square meters, where in addition to what I lived, there was also an entomology office and a museum at the same time, I had to destroy the population. In addition, he kept rhinoceros larvae, ground beetles once tried to breed, South Russian-tarantula. Poplar tapeworm bred and ladybirds 7-point. I even have a notebook somewhere lying around with school observations on breeding local entomofauna. And at the very beginning, when I was fond of spiders, there were about 20 containers of different capacities, where I kept the local arachnid fauna.

06.09.2011 19:38, Decticus

Now I keep bird-eating spiders, cockroaches Blaberus giganteus, crickets, and a bear.In the summer there were 3 types of grasshoppers.

29.03.2012 8:45, BO.

I've been holding all sorts of people:
classics of the genre-tarantulas, our native tarantulas..
of the spiders, it was most interesting to keep the very tiny Scytodes thoracica gobber spiders. In the plans to master the content of skakunchikov.
I periodically bring out various local butterflies , I spend quite a long time with saturnalia.
Perepony: unfortunately, a full cycle at home does not work.
displayed different single oss.
And ants, of course, are permanent pets. I mainly specialize in messors Messor denticulatus, runners Cataglyphis aenescens and Serviformica rufibarbis.

I keep beetles from time to time: there were black bodies, rhinos, bronzes..
smile.gifMicro worms, well, this is for fish hooked on killie.
to the heap of a cat and a Caucasian shepherd smile.gif

P.S. voting is not serious smile.gif

14.04.2012 20:20, Коллекционер

and I have now in my opinion the most interesting is the larvae of ant lions .. 5 went to winter quarters, but only 2 returned,
and for some reason they do not dig minks confused.gifbecause of this problem with feeding(
