Let's talk invertebrates /an/
I'm thinking about getting a Vietnamese centipede.
care seems pretty simple, and they're a no touch pet which is something I'm looking for.
Idealy I'd like something I can keep in a 2.5 gallon glass enclosure, but nearly nothing is small enough.
what kind of invertebrates do you guys have? post pics. isopods, insects, arachnids and any other spineless creature are cool.
Only inverts I keep are Freshwater Shrimp various colours (pic) and snails, all aquatic, but I too plan on getting into terrestrial inverts like Centi- or Millipedes intobthe future.
There was this blueish looking centipede, but I forgot his name, that would be my first choice.
I keep a few species of isopods that I've been able to find in my backyard. Mostly Porcellio scaber and Armadillidium vulgare, but I have found some Oniscus asellus.
I'd like to order some some different species in the future along with some sort of roach.
I'm terrified of centipedes but have considered getting one as a pet just to de-sensitize myself toward them. I remember getting apple snails for my aquarium and initially thinking they were spooky-looking water-aliums and thinking neocardina shrimp were like like water-cockroaches but over time they just became kawaii creatures roaming around and trying to live their lives. Maybe if I own a centipede I'll accept them as bros.

I feel the same about millipedes. I live in Africa so I can literally just go outside and pick up a foot long millipede, but I've had a crippling phobia of them all my life. Hell I can't even look at this image without feeling physical pain.
