Can't take having crickets anymore!!

I tried to flick it hard last night, and one did fall out ... & onto me! (My throat still hurts from screaming.)

Guess I need to practice more!

We were all newbs once. I remember the first time picking one up and it would not let go of me and I didn't want to hurt it. I found out they're pretty tough and I could be fairly rough with them.

Some people use tongs, but the roaches probably have to have a little more size than what you have right now. I've had them for five years and I still don't like the feeling of the adults grabbing onto me.
