But wouldn't rather have an army of house geckos? XD

i'd love the army of house geckos, but am concerned for their safety
our cats seem to be particularly predatory

For a sec there I thought you said you were worried for the cats. lol

Oi... It's chaos over here.
I've had to sort through over half of my collection and move them to new containers.
New interest in garters has caused my parents to make me (lol) cut my number of species from around 32 to 18. (I do digress; Those are a lot of roaches either way. XD)
Fortunately by the time I'm done with the new setups my room won't look so cluttered, and each colony will have a lot more room for growth.
Pics when the renovations are finished. ^^

Most certainly! XD
The better news is that I'm having success with a species that all of my fellow roach enthusiasts are having epic fails with. :P

kyle you are one crazy guy lol my mom would have never let me keep roaches in my room

[Zephyr]

Just realized something; It'll be 19 instead of 18. :P
Although the 19th species I'm having a hard time getting to breed. x.x

Rather pretty female Byrsotria fumigata.
Her and her family will be moving into a "breeder bin," which is a 27 quart sterilite bin modified so that I can easily mist the roaches every night.

Rather pretty

If you say so.

[Zephyr]

If you say so.

There are some ugly roaches out there.
Try googling Blatta lateralis. XD
