Third Instar
First of all, this is awesome that there is a roach forum! :lol:
Well my name is Cody Will. My dumb user name was what my ludicrous high school chemistry teacher called me. I am currently a student at Shasta College here in Northern CA. I am in the process of studying entomology and zoology, and will soon be transfering to the UC system. I have a passion for animals, particularly 'bugs', as well as art, photography, sports, and anything involving outdoors and nature. I currently own over 100 theraphosids, about 50 Ctenizids/Mygalomorphs, lots of Blattaria, and other things. Other clubs/forums I am a part of include SFBATS, SCABIES, ATS, bugguide, and Arachnoboards. As a student I am also working at the local pet store here in my small home city. I am a firm believer and follower of Christ, and it is to Him that I give everything to and do everything in light of. My love for Him and my passionate hobbies/interests, respectively; I guess one could say represent my life in a nut shell. I consider myself a very kind and approachable individual, and love hearing from anyone and everyone.
In regards to this forum (accidentally found on google), I've been into creepy crawlies since I was two years old. My first tarantula I got when I was nine, then at 16/17 it suddenly went from one to about 50 and is now around 100 different species. How I got into roaches is sort of a funny story. I bought a spider from a gal in Oregon and as a freebie she sent me about a dozen mix-sized B. fusca roaches (thanks funnylori!) I had been thinking about using roaches as feeders but these things were way too cool to feed. Now, I am beginning to collect roaches. With how fast my tarantula collection grew I unfortunately do not see it any differently with the roaches, and will most likely have multiple species/colonies in the very near future. Who ever knew that bug collecting could be so addicting?! So now thanks to Matt K (in process of a trade as I type this) I will soon have a good head start with some very nice oddball/rare stuff, along with my B. fusca colony and a good sized B. orientalis colony I found in my backyard.
Ok so that's about it for my very excessive "hello". I cannot wait to meet everybody and I look forward to sharing thoughts, ideas, knowledge, pictures, experiences, and everything else valuable to a forum such as this. IMO Roaches are a lot of fun and the way I see it they are just as overrated as tarantulas if not more so (at least to everyone I know!). Anyway I hope to network with some friendly people here and become an active member and contributor of this forum. From what I can see it looks VERY resourceful, promising, and fun

With graduation going on among lots of other things I didn't even plan for it. I'll be sure to consider it next time though! It would definitely be an upgrade from the SFBATS meetings, which are loads of fun already! :lol:
