Marc

Hello all! My name is Marc, and I have been a huge fan, of well, HUGE tropical roaches, and not so huge ones, for some time. I currently raise 2 colonies of hissers as both feeders AND pets. I used to have a colony of Domino roaches, (Thereaspecies, but, due to a health condition, I had neglected their care, and the colony crashed. my biggest passion is my pet tarantulas, and so have really mixed feelings when feeding off hissers. I know, the most commonly kept roach, but one gets rather attached to them, nonetheless! My dominant male was even named 'Ben Franklin' by a woman I know! I hope

I am also most touched by these stories, which is why I joined this forum, to be honest. Roaches, have changed my life as well. I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin... a very 'invert-unfriendly' city, it is literally a 2 hour bus ride to get crickets. (I have currently 56 tarantulas, and 2 colonies of hissers, I have had Domino roaches as well) After suffering a nearly deadly blood clot, I needed to pay 'friends' to get rides for crickets. Someone I know on a tarantula forum had been using hissers as feeders for some time, and sent me 3 male and 5 female adults... I have maybe a 100 or more adults
