How to handle a stick insect



Handling of stick insects is easy. Some can be difficult as they can spray acid but most don't. Good beginner insects would be Thai, Indian, Giant Spiny, and Giant Prickly Stick Insects. They make a great addition to my collection and an interesting animal for the people that don't like my snakes.

My Chinese Mantis (Fearful) finally dies...R.l.P

He calls his dead mantis "Scherrie" and has another one named "Matilda." In the video, the dude basically plays with a dead insect.

Playing with naughty Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus)

From the video's description: Playing with our cousin's Marmosets in São Paulo. I'm sorry if the image is too fast but these little buggers move extremely quickly!

These bad boys come from Brazil and they eat insects, spiders and small vertebrates. They also like fruit and well, nearly anything that's edible.

They are male and female and they are 1.5 years old. The female is not ready to have any offspring as they don't mature until the 2nd year.
