Okay I have my roaches, heating pad, water crystals, food etc etc. I have everything setup and it's a 90 degrees and 60% humidity. Thanks everyone for your online tutorials it helped a lot.
My only issue is there is no tutorial on how to handle these guys. I have no issue putting my hand in when the coast is clear. If a nymph grabs onto my finger though I freak out like a little girl and shake my hand really fast. It's really quite embarrassing to my ego. How do you recommend becoming one with the roaches? It took me a while to be comfortable with crickets. I have a thing about roaches though =/. I grew up in Florida and during the summer they are every where. I think that's where my fear comes from.
I'm trying to pick up the small ones but they don't seem to like that too much. If I see a large one though I wont even put my hand in there. Am I just over reacting because I'm not used to them? Did you have issues with them at first?
