angallia Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey there, I'm completely new to keeping roaches! I am currently in school and plan to eventually get a masters in entomology. Sadly the insects/arachnids I can keep are limited as I still live with my parents and they aren't really huge fans of the whole thing. I would really appreciate advice if you guys have any to offer. I currently have 10 juvenile dubias and 4 adult hissers. Really glad to have joined this forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Welcome to the forum! We're certainly glad to have you hear and awesome that you're shooting for a Master's in entomology! That's a fun path to go down and can be very enjoyable (I just got my Master's in ento in August ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Welcome! Hopefully your parents will become more accepting of your hobby, after a while lots of parents do. Just get them to hold some of your hissers, that is what forever changed my mom's perspective of roaches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All About Arthropods Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Welcome to the forum! A career in entomology would be a really cool one to have! Just get them to hold some of your hissers, that is what forever changed my mom's perspective of roaches! You're lucky Hisserdude, I can't even get either of my parents to hold one of my hissers!

lovebugfarm Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Welcome to the forum. My wife hasnt held any of my roaches except for my peppered roaches. I think they are the biggest favorite of any of my quests. They are a lil pricy but are great for breaking the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
