Oh yes, I also let my mantids, and my banded argiopes free roam. The argiopes make new webs every few days in a new place in the room, and the mantids rarely venture far from their original positions. I had some free roaming fish for a while, but they didn't last long

we let our Chinese Water Dragon out for a few hours every day. He used to have run of most of the house (a basement suite, and we would close off the bedroom areas), but now we have a spare room which is being used as the lizard room, so he gets free run of that, as it is kept warm and humid. though when i'm aruond, he's content to sit on my head/shoulder for quite awhile. Spoon, our crestie, doesn't get much run, since he's rather quick and jumpy. worried about catching him again. he does get out if I block off a small area of carpet and sit with him, or just to hold him for awhile.

if he's not watching me he's trying to eat the superworm container in an attempt to get a few out and eat them.

We let the corns roam ON us, same with the geckos... The geckos also get occasional time on a couch or chair in the living room, but they're too quick to allow them to roam free. With the corns, if they got out to wander free, we'd probably have a much smaller animal count...

The Bearded Dragons and the iguana get to wander around but the snakes all have to be content with being held with the exception of the ball pythons. All the rest are too fast and likely to get into somewhere that I can't retrieve them!
