Anyone kept locusts as pets ?
Just saw these in the local pet store live food section ..
They look so nice I wondered if they can be kept as ‘pets’ ?
Maybe using a spare Exo Terra tank
You get ten for 3 dollars

It’s just that they’re intriguing looking critters with a great paint job and they’re a decent size as well .

though I've never kept any. (I find them in my yard now & then.) They're definitely interactive. But locusts might be harder to catch if they get loose...;)
The chance of escapes did cross my mind :)
I was brought up hearing about the damage caused by swarms of locusts :)
