ONE OF MY HISSING ROACHES

anyway this is kinda a big start for a first post (i dont know how to work this) but have this image of one of my hissers named Dr. Pepper, hes kinda small rn but he loves his bug jelly and cuddling up to his other cockroach buddy (his names Coca Cola)

Baby hissers!!! 🪳🪳🪳💕

back when i was a kid like 12 years old or whatever i think i had a pet madagascan hissing cockroach and her name was Rema!!! i loved her so much and i kind of miss having her around, she was supposed to have a partner but he died in the mail sadly. i would let her out like every night into this big playzone i made on the carpet with a wall of little pebbles and it had a tiny sandpit and cardboard tubes and sticks and grass piles and she could climb all around the plantpots and i would hide her favorite snacks for her, she loved basically anything with corn in it, cornflakes and boiled sweetcorn on the cob! i probably could've taken care of her a lot better and made her shedding location a lot safer and she was probably really lonely. once i gave her a little plastic bug that vaguely resembled a roach but idk what it is tbh and she would always sleep right next to it or on top of it I've always been looking forward to getting a mischief of rats as my next pet but since its circumstantially probably not very possible yet i kind of want to try keeping some more hissers!! madagascan hissing roaches are so interesting and cute and chill and relatively low maintenance i love them a lot

In the process of making my very first jar specimen today. I was rearranging my hissing roach enclosure today and I found one of them dead. I thought it was a molt at first. It's sad, but now I can finally make a jar specimen, so today is both somewhat sad AND exciting.

I moved the girlies into a bigger bin and Henrietta finally gave birth!!!

Going through a very bad artblock rn but for now have some smellies

i just need to show this,,, i recently got some madagascar hissing roaches and look!!!!!! freshly peeled!!!!! im so proud of this little man,,,

Freshly peeled angel!!! Please tell him he's beautiful

my larger, adult roaches are tattooed for identification and tracking purposes and need to be re-applied roughly once a week. I’ve recently introduced honey treats after their tattoo process to encourage good behavior & calmness during the procedure. Today, Medusa had her tattoo reapplied and the honey treat was a huge success.

Making sure my kids have good taste.
