Ok, so whenever I mention my Dubias to anyone, even my gf that also owns a beardie, they all react the same way, "EW!!! You have roaches?!"
Now a few months ago, I may have reacted the same way. But after housing both crickets and dubias, I can't see why anyone would find them disgusting but not care if crickets are in their house. Basically, my view of roaches and crickets has completely flipped.
Crickets are grotesque. I truly believe they are hell-spawn. They are cannibals, they stink, they jump, the chirp to no end, they make a mess of their food and water, and they are just simply ugly! Dubias may also be cannibals, but they don't stink, they don't jump (for the most part), they don't chirp, they don't make a mess of their food, and they are cute!!
This is why I don't like the reaction that most people give to my cute roaches. They are as much of pet now as Lemon is. I can't be the only one who feels this way. Anyone else this fond of their Dubias?
