Insects, Spiders, Scorpions and Millipedes
Most of us, at one time or another in our childhood, caught some kind of bug and put it in a jar with holes in the lid. Most people lose this fascination with insect and other invertebrates as they get older, and often go to great lengths to to keep them away. However, some people never lose that fascination and enjoy keeping insects, spiders, scorpion and millipedes as pets. These are certainly not cuddly pets, but they can still be entertaining and educational. Before deciding on one of these, read Insects and Spiders 101 for an idea of the factors you should consider before choosing one of these pets. Some of these may be illegal where you live, so you need to check into your local laws as well.
