Hi,
So, I'm not a roach lover but also I'm not that freaked out about them either. Lately I've been feeding my beardie small (1/4-1/2) sized dubias. And everything is fine, they kinda look like woodlice, so I handle them fine and what not. My beardie LOVES them, he goes desperate even when he sees me carrying the little container where I keep them. I just buy them I don't breed them. Anyways, I decide to buy like 2 pairs of adults (2 male 2 female) just to get the idea of them being adults if one day I decide to breed, which the wife is strongly opposed. So today they came. MAN, when they are adults they kind of freak me out! The little ones, one can almost consider them cute, but the adult ones look somewhat scary. When I went to pick one up (a female) I was so surprised about the strength of it!! I could almost feel muscles in them pushing me away :shock: or when trying to hold to the cardboard. And here is something weird, when I went to pick up a male, also very strong, I felt like something stung me! I don't know if it was the spikes on the legs or what, but when holding it to not escape and making pressure because it was so freaking strong that it could escape, I felt something stung my finger kind of hard. Also they were VERY fast moving :?
Is it me or this roaches are difficult to handle?
