Hey /an/

Is it possible to keep a giant isopod as a pet? If so what would you need to keep it alive and how often can they stay out of water?

Even though I love many kinds of athropods, I rather keep a hive of asian killer hornets in my house than this damn scary monster.

You can look at it from every angle, this thing looks just like it's born with pure killing intent.

I actually have a hive of Asian killer hornets in my house. It's kind of overrated.

I'll take it, along with the creature of the deep. We are going to have an ice cream party

keep a Mantis shrimp instead, they only require a marine tank with rocks. they also pretty feisty and like to hunt live food. small crabs are a favourite

Several zoos and public aquariums keep them, using large water chillers, keeping them in the dark, and feeding them commercial fish food and shrimp. I don't know about how successful they are in long-term, though. Many marine invertebrates have trouble growing properly outside of the depths they've adapted to due to a lack of pressure.
