Hello from Pennsylvania

[angallia]

Hey there, I'm completely new to keeping roaches! I am currently in school and plan to eventually get a masters in entomology. Sadly the insects/arachnids I can keep are limited as I still live with my parents and they aren't really huge fans of the whole thing. I would really appreciate advice if you guys have any to offer. I currently have 10 juvenile dubias and 4 adult hissers. Really glad to have joined this forum!

Welcome to the forum! We're certainly glad to have you hear and awesome that you're shooting for a Master's in entomology! That's a fun path to go down and can be very enjoyable (I just got my Master's in ento in August ).

Welcome! Hopefully your parents will become more accepting of your hobby, after a while lots of parents do. Just get them to hold some of your hissers, that is what forever changed my mom's perspective of roaches!

Hello to another Pennsylvanian. Great degree, insects are amazing.

You're lucky Hisserdude, I can't even get either of my parents to hold one of my hissers!

Welcome to the forum. My wife hasnt held any of my roaches except for my peppered roaches. I think they are the biggest favorite of any of my quests. They are a lil pricy but are great for breaking the ice.

Yeah, my mom rocks! Hopefully your mom will come around too!

Hopefully but I doubt it.
