Invertebrates as Pets: Keeping and Caring for Millipedes, Centipedes, Scorpions and Tropical Cockroaches Kindle Edition

I bought this book to learn about keeping centipedes as pets. I realize it indicates right in the title that it contains info on all invertebrates (of which there are many) not just centipedes. But what you end up with is a "booklet"which contains a minuscule amount of basic info on obscure subjects. Cockroaches as pets??? In sum, if you're thinking about buying this booklet to learn about, just centipedes or just millipedes, don't bother.It contains info which is already available to you for free on the Internet or at your public library.

If you're interested in invertebrates as pets or for scientific reasons, this book is for you. It doesn't just cover the standbys like tarantulas and scorpions. Many other types are covered, including those you might never know exist.Strangely enough, the various types of praying mantis species aren't mentioned in their own chapter despite being popular in the pet trade.

I had been wanting a house centipede as a pet so I was trying to buy centipede books. When I ordered this book I sort of thought this might not be about house centipedes and more about giant centipedes that bug hobbyists keep. WRONG!! This book actually had a a short section about HOUSE CENTIPEDES!! I really enjoy reading this book :)

Nice little book for the money
