Squidsalad Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 My name is Leigh! I've been interested in cockroaches (among other animals) for a while now! I work at a natural history museum where they have hissing cockroaches, scorpions,tarantulas, snakes,bearded dragons and turtles. I'm new to the hobby of cockroaches as pets. It somehow never occurred to me that I could have my own cockroaches, and I didn't have to say goodbye to the roaches at the museum every night . They let me pick out some roaches to take home. I like watching them, observing them, and feeding them. Especially feeding them! It makes me happy to watch them crawl over to their food and munch away. My roaches are pets. I honestly didn't know there were different species of hissing cockroaches (or so many cool species) until a few months ago. I've currently got: Hissing cockroaches (hopefully pure lines of Gromphadorhina portentosa ) (just two for now ) Therea olegrandjeani nymphs of varying sizes, one is the size of a quarter, and that makes me so happy. I got them from Peter Clausen. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistlingmedic Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Welcome! I love Therea species, good choice. What species are on your "wish list?" Edit: spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidsalad Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Aeluropoda insignis, Archimantrita tesselata ,Elliptorhina javanica are some of my faves. I'm probably going to stick with only a few species. I want to make sure I can manage them and spoil them all, haha. I give my hissers names What about you?
