Please excuse my ignorance, who/what are these?

Part of it looks like a scorpion. The rest, maggots?

I think it may be a spider as I know Peloquin keeps them (specifically tarantulas).

It's a female scorpion. When they give birth the young climb up onto her back and she feeds/ protects them until they moult from lava stage to scorplings. Then they climb off her back and start hunting for themselves.
In the pic they have just moulted and are ready to leave her. The white stuff near the top is the shed skins.

Oops, I was wrong!

Thank you. If I remember correctly you also keep or kept snakes?

Spiders, scorpions: same family (arachnids), different stinger!

Many years ago I had a couple but reptiles really aren't my thing. I just couldn't get interested in them. Much prefer inverts.

As well as mites and ticks.

I would like a lizard but could not feed an animal to another animal.

There are plenty that only eat plants.

And some that only eat insects.

And some that will eat anything... and I wouldn't want one of these in my house:

Not many people would since they'd bite you, then follow you around until you died, then eat you.

You wouldn't want a Nile monitor running around your house either, or a rhinoceros iguana.

Craig had to go to Gitmo for work a few times before it became a detention facility. The rhinoceros iguanas would hang out under the picnic tables at the outdoor eating area and wait for people to throw them table scraps. You could hear the crunch of the bones.

LG - Life's good!

For the cat? He's a Fritos and snacks squished. That's crummy.
