so for awhile now ive been looking at getting a different kinda pet then my snakes and have looked really heavily at lizards with more recently thinking about spiders and scorpions.

ive looked at different types of geckos and would really like to get some since they're more visible but im mostly worrried about the diet. i havent really found anywhere to buy feeders from and i know id screw up preparing the greens and eveything.

then theres the tarantulas. i want to get one thats able to be handled maybe once every few days or so without too much risk of being bitten or getting a hair flicker. my roommate is also scared of them and threatens the he'll kill it as soon as i look away from it but i doubt he really would. again i cant find feeders around me.

emperor scorpions seem like they're the best bet right now other then that they arent handleable and i still cant find feeders.

oh and ive looked into frogs too but like with the others i cant find feeders.

ive read a bunch of caresheets on all of them but am looking to get some advice from ppl with first hand experience on the best way to house, feed and just general ease of care.

thnx for any advice.
