Keeping spiders and isopods as pets is not common. However, there's a growing popularity of these species among pet enthusiasts because they have minimal care requirements.
When you decide to keep spiders, you can always start with Tarantulas (Curly Hair Mexican Red-knee, Chilean Rose, Brazilian Black, and Pink Toe Tarantulas). This pet choice fits owners who want quiet animals that are simple to maintain. Since they are not social animals, they need to be in an enclosure with a secure lid and good ventilation.
It would be best if you also placed a piece of cork bark, hollow log, or any hiding place. In their real habitat, they like to burrow, and placing dried leaves like Catappa by SunGrow can provide an added sense of security. They don’t like bright lights, and these dried leaves can cover the entranceway of their hiding getaway.
Like Tarantulas, putting dried Indian Almond Leaves in Isopods’ vivarium can also help them thrive in their new home. They also like to hide, so providing some wood and leaf litter works best. Isopods are detritivores and eat dried leaves as their food. These leaves also aid in maintaining the ideal humidity level of their surroundings.
