Keeping Arthropods as Pets (39 books)

A list of books describing the husbandry of arthropods such as tarantulas, cockroaches, beetles, etc.

Please do not add children’s books nor fiction.

Please review other lists for books on bee-keeping; since they are kept agriculturally rather than as pets, I have not included such books here.
