I'm finally now feeling that I should have an animal to keep me company here in this suburb that i'm now living in aside from my plants, but it would have to be something completely fine with being confined to a very small space. I've thought in the past of having some kind of grasshoppers or similar orthoptera as pets to keep and breed within this old fish tank I have, what do you guys think about this? They wouldn't be able to be outside of the room in which I sleep in, so I guess they'd be loud as everloving fuck while i'm trying to sleep? Are there other types of relatively easily obtainable, moderately sized insects that are quiet as well as being fine with being cooped up into a tiny box? Are there quiet types of grasshopper/orthoptera?
tarantulas/scorpions/mantis/centipedes/millipedes are cool and could live there

I'm now thinking centipedes sound pretty cool, also I forgot to include that the dimensions of the box are 11.5 inches wide by 7.5 inches wide by 10 inches tall

Eh well, maybe not then

you'd only get a big swelling if you got bitten. but they're very fast. so just don't ever touch it and you're fine.
I have a ton of millipedes that I got by accident.
They live in my potted houseplants--don't seem to be causing any problems, and they never leave the pots.

Only thing is, it can be hard to see them because they sort of blend in with the compost/potting mix (which they seemingly eat as well as live in).

Madagascar hissing roaches.
Get an anole.

Noted
Also crabs.

Pretty sure they only hiss only if you piss them off.

10 gallons is crap for an anole, and they need special lighting and live food.

Not for a single male.

millipedes are a good option then if you dont want to feed it live things, they eat decomposing fruit/plants/veggies and I kept 6 together in a space that size, no noise, just leave them some fruit and leafs and water thats all

This is too small for vertebrates, so consider something like stick insects, a spider, praying mantis, millipedes,..
You could also fill it with water and keep brine shrimps, fairy shrimps or triops in it

You mean like fish and small frogs? Because I disagree.
>>2165700
cool. it's still too small
>>2165703
Disregard. I got mixed up and thought this was the thread about the 10 gallon.
Op back here again, I just realized the absolute best thing to have in it is beneficial garden insects like ladybugs

Post pics once you have it set up.
