Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sage Exotics" data-source="post: 130431" data-attributes="member: 27797"><p>I have a five gallon aquarium that I don’t want to use as fish or any aquatics (although crabs are welcome) anymore, it’s pretty small (W 12”/D 6”/H 12”), and it is meant for fish so it’s not well ventilated, but I can put netting on the top and add ledges in there for spiders. I live in Canada and exotic pet selection is pretty sucky, so it should be pretty common. I wanted exotic  cockroaches like Madagascan hissing or Dubia, but it’s very illegal to own ANY exotic cockroaches in Canada, and it’s too small for millipedes. It’s also too small for reptiles and non-aquatic amphibians (at least, any available ones), so arachnids are my last option. So any tarantula or scorpion species that can comfortably thrive in there? (OBTs are out of the question, I already have one but we bought him as a Brazilian red birdeater sling and my mom’s terrified of him)</p></blockquote><p></p>
