Rotting wood

I get asked why I have them, what do I do with them, where to get them, what I feed them, why I touch them, do I feed them to anything stuff like that

 
most are pretty open minded but I do get the people that ask a TON of questions that are intrigued but at the same time grossed out. I would say 70 percent of them are intrigued and 30 percent are grossed out

That's pretty interesting, I would think that given the stigma cockroaches receive in this country that the proportion of grossed out people would be higher. I guess this is getting really off topic though... thanks to everyone who replied, I found it very helpful!

 
I think here in the North, the stigma against cockroaches is not quite as strong, as many of us have never even seen the pest species. My students are a mix of interested and grossed out. I think that the "interested" students outnumber the grossed out ones.

 
I agree with you on that one, we almost never see any kind of "wild" roach... My mom claims to have seen a wild american roach that was "HUGE" but i never believed her.. I wonder what she thinks now about my madagascars and the little ones LOL
