Good ideas everyone, I will get convincing under way. Skeptic, we already own the house but I believe that I am mature enough to make decisions? I will not of course, try to keep them without him seeing. That will end badly.

When I was around 15, my parents were dead against me keeping snakes, lizards etc.... So, I bought one, a diamond python, i asked mum if I could look after "my mates" diamond python for a month as he was going overseas with his parents and it would die if I didn't look after it. She said yes but only for one month... She became less afraid of it, more curious until she asked if she could hold it... After the month, I said that I better take it back to my mate, mum didnt want me to take it back... Luckily my "mate" didnt want it anymore and mum let me keep it... A white lie but it all worked out well in the end...

Dont agree. I have used wild caught critters of all sorts to feed Ts, mantids and pedes. No issues. In fact I reckon it is preferable to "gut fed" commercial products. Something could go wrong (such is life) but you use your intelligence to fix it. My Heridula female XL loved smashing Katydids twice her size (she was a specialist- dont feed your inverts anything that might kill them).

Fair enough I'm just spooked by what could be in the system of any insect living in suburban Brisbane. pesticides etc...

I gut load my crickets with insect booster and vegetables.

On the other hand, my mum is fine with me getting a tarantula.

I'd work on strengthening this alliance.

Thats the guy that got me interested in tarantulas! (And cured my arachnophobia )

Also, update for everyone: I showed him a few videos, facts and other stuff. He is 'thinking about it' apparently. I reckon if I can get my mum to try and pursuade him, I will be allowed? Unless 'thinking about it' is an adult term for 'Stop bothering me, its a no' :/
