KitKatie329 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I have a little critter keeper that I keep on my desk. I've been rotating different species out of this for the last few weeks because I like having something to stare at when I should be doing something more important. Today I put some N. cinerea in there and WOW, they are super active the second the sun goes down! All of the other species I've had in there just kind of pick a spot and hunker down, but these guys are running laps and chasing each other all over the place! I had no idea all of this was going on in their bin every night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herpetologyfrk Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I sleep in the same room as all my animals so I hear a lot of movement at night, especially from the Eublaberus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likebugs Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I wish I had the space for a display container, it would be lovely. My husband would not go for having roaches in the bedroom, actually he doesn't like that I have any at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKatie329 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Haha, I had a friend of mine stay over and some of my hissers were getting rowdy, she was shocked that I could sleep through it every night, I don't even hear it, I know the bugs are there so the rustling doesn't bother me at all. Some of my friends now refer to my bedroom closet as The Thunderdome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 My bugs are in my bedroom too. I heard the tesselata freaking out one night after I refurbished their cage, then woke up and found out I'd accidentally moved an ant colony in with 'em!

KitKatie329 Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Do N. cinerea have a defensive odor? I've noticed their colony smells distinctly sweet, for lack of a better word. Almost sickly sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makoygaara Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I can't see the activities of my roaches at night since their bins are colored dark. I just don't want them to be disturbed because of outside movements during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
