I'm working on setting up a forest vivarium and wish to add some millipedes to the mix. I don't have any specific species in mind but the bigger the better. :P

I'm shopping around for some Ghost mantids and any Deroplatys spp. I would prefer larger nymphs (L4+) but will consider other offerings. I do have several roach species, lady bugs, and isopods if you would rather trade.

OK, so my In-laws are taking us all on a trip to Florida so their granddaughter (my little girl) can go to Disney World. This will be my first time in FL. and I was hoping to get some tips as far as other cool area attractions go. We will be driving down in February and a family member there...

I found one of these guys at work Friday and took it home with me. Ive never kept salamanders before but this little guy is just too cute to pass up. I was wondering if anyone could provide info on their care? I have looked online but have found little. For the past few days Ive been keeping it...

Ok so it all started with mantids, then I added scorpions to the colection, then to feed the mantids and scorpions I got roaches. I found I actually kind of enjoyed the roaches so I bought some Hissers to keep as pets. What large buggie should I get next?

I found a cool land snail last night. I have no idea what kind it is but its good sized. (round shell is brown and 1.25-1.5" body is tan/gray and 2.5-3") I thought I would offer it for sale or trade before keeping it all to myself. :P PM me to make an offer.

So I went into the bathroom to pee this morning when I noticed something trying to climb up the wall next to the toilet. Much to my suprise it was a widow spider! I finished doing my thing and quickly ran to grab something to catch her. Im still trying to work out what kind it is but Im leaning...

I found a Green Mantisfly at work last night. Has anyone kept these before? How long do they live? I think it would be cool to keep but I may just get rid of it.

Im looking to expand my "pet bug collection" to enclude scorpions. I already have one emperor scorpion that I would like to possibly find a mate for. I am also interested in any other of the large scorpion species.

I went to Repticon with a friend this past weekend and saw that they had quite a few Emperor Scorpions. Long story short one man there was selling a single scorpion in a tiny critter keeper. The price tag was $8 for the Emperor and the enclosure and had been marked down from $10. As my friend...

My boss man caught a Chinese mantis tonight and brought it to me. She is a pretty green color and seems quite healthy and happy however I noticed something odd about her, while all other Chinese mantids that I have seen have brown wings with green margins this mantis has all green wings. Has...
