Jolly Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi everybody! I'm completely new to this forum and thought it would be polite to introduce myself. My name is Jolly (well, at least that's the name I usually use on the internet and partly in real life, too), I'm 29 and I've been keeping roaches as pets a little over a year now. I started out with Blaptica Dubia (I took some home from work) and soon after got addicted to the various different types of hissers. Last but not least, I'd like to compliment you on this forum and the huge amount of information posted in all the numerous threads! I pretty much had to pry myself off my laptop the other night, since there are so many interesting threads to read! Best regards Jolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Welcome! You got your dubia from work? Living in Europe must be great because of all the available bugs that are illegal over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hey, yeah, I work at a local pet store and just couldn't resist the little buggers... Certain types of venomous insects are in fact illegal in some German states, but fortunately we don't have any legislation concerning bugs. in fact I just ordered more hissers a couple of days ago! *joy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marula Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Which hissers have you got by now? I also love hissers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 I think I'm kind of like Ash Ketchum from Pokémon: Gotta catch 'em all! Very cool! Way to go for me Aeluropoda insignis looks beautiful! They are! I'll be sure to post some pics, soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Okay, here's an older pic of my big G. grandidieri male, isn't he gorgeous? The second and third picture are from one of my supposed G. portentosa hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marula Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Gorgeous indeed! I'm jealous!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That's a nice list of hissers! Do you raise other species, as well (aside from the B. dubia)? Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thank you! No, just the Dubias and the hissers. I do keep millipedes, though. I haven't forgotten about the pics either, but there was just no time. Fortunately, I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, so I think I should be able to squeeze in at least one big photoshoot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
