It's a quaint little place the kids like to call.... The Roach Room. It sounds like a mid-summer shower when you go into the room about an hour after lights go off. Let's just say if your not ready for it, it can make you feel a little uncomfortable.

I know this all to well, heh. I keep em in my bedroom and when you first walk in, its a scurry! Another interesting thing I found is that they tend to run and hide right before rain starts coming down outside. Very accurate little weather forecasters. :eek:

I have a dog that doesn't like the rain, when he hears the roaches he hides and won't go outside :lol:

It's not too bad if you keep them in your room - you get used to it. They don't tend to scuttle around all night really loudly in my experience, just when something startles them they mass stampede. ;)

Don't worry about it Adtoes, just ignore em. If you can put up with crickets, I've discovered you can put up with anything. I've discovered I can even sleep with someone else's laptop in the bed or the TV on in the background, having lived with crickets at night in my previous house.

the dubia are in the corner of the living room next to Sappy's house
supers will be there once they come in and I start breeding them
then I have a couple living in a 10 gal on top of the viv
they are my wife's special christmas roaches

got a pair they just came today
glad they were in better shape my last order of supers were in the other day
500 all frozen and dead
they are sending out replacements monday
these hissers are something else though
they actually don't mind being held but I haven't head them hiss yet
the female is almost 4" long and wider than my thumb
the male is quite a bit smaller 3" but as wide
he is a bit shy though

Yeah, but the rain clouds may loom overhead all day long and not drop a bit of rain. Right before they burst, the roaches scatter. It's neat really, first you get the imitation shower sound, then the real shower sound comes and you look out the window and realize it really is raining!

Our crickets are in a rubbermaid tub kept under the dragon shelving. That's where we're going to put our superworms once we get those in after the new year. I plan on breeding the superworms to replace the crickets. I can't wait!
