any ideas on inverts

[Monza geckos]

hi i am thinking about getting an invert but not a scorpion,tarantula,stick insect or mantis as I either don't want these or already have them i was looking for something like an alien arachnid e.g whip scorpion/spider or a beetle with a life span of 3 years or over any suggestions would be much obliged [please leave links to care sheet and places that sell animal to the u.k]

D. Diadema and M. Giganteus would be my votes, haven't keep either myself but plan on getting both sooner or later

Of the two Matthew listed, my vote goes to Mastigoproctus giganteus, the Giant Vinegaroon .

thats the one i was gonna go for because my mum isn't comfortable with me having a scorpion or a t so it's perfect. housing wise this is what i have come up with please add some items or tell me otherwise if theres anything else: large exo terra breeding box (because they look better than faunariums, flat breeding box), a heat mat, a piece of cork bark to dig into substrate to create tunnel hide, shallow exo terra water dish, fake plants and a mixture of rocks moss and coco husk for substrate.

My experience with coco husk and tarantulas is a negative one. Not sure how it will work out for this guy; but would rather recommend a 50-50 mix of soil and shredded coco (Plantation Soil or EcoEarth) .

Paraphrynus mexicanus, scolopendra centipedes, flame-leg millipedes, rhino beetles (though this one is not really long-lived)

Lol roaches can be fun, but I'm a T kinda guy. I do keep some pretty colored hissers I keep too. Also keep wide horn hissers (largest species we can get in US)
