Default What to choose?

Hi I am considering purchasing an invert of some kind i was wondering if anyone could give me some help.

I dont want to spend too much money,
I want something that prob doesnt get much bigger than around 3-4inchs
Is colourful and attractive
Is active and a good feeder
Requires only a small housing

Is there such a thing?

I would say mantid or a beetle of somekind
they are so placid, and can be so damn pretty its stupid, lol
Otherwise maybe some hemiscolopendra chilensis
Bit of exp and knowledge would be bloody handy before something like that tho

Mantids or stickies!

I recently discovered peruphasma schultei, black beauty stickies.

They are LOVELY, jet black all over with bright red wing buds and yellow eyes!
They get to 6-7cm

Hi thanks everyone.

I have thought about scorpians and I am tempted but iv heard that they arnt really that active.

As for sticks and mantids iv kept sticks before so want to try something a bit different maybe bit more viscious lol.

Are there any scorpians which dont require a large housing and are very colourful?
