Hi, all, new here, just wanted to say that I have many critters, the newest being Hissing Cockroaches. Unfortunately, the name makes people think of our cockroaches, the ones that come with filth and disease. These are nothing like that. Some places call them "beetles". Yes, they are the same bugs you see people eat on "Fear Factor". Anyway, they make interesting pets, they are clean, don't bite, and more and more schools are getting them in their classrooms. Kids love 'em! They breed very well, and the juveniles make good food for turtles, frogs and lizards. Anyone want to know more, let me know!

Welcome to the Pool, Chickenlady!

I'm not sure I'd want Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches for pets myself; but I have seen them on TV, like on The Tonight Show and Letterman.

Are these the same kind that are used in movies too?
I guess if I had to have one crawl on me, I'd rather know it was one of these...

Such adorable little things!!
