    I'm hoping its a good "foot in the door" to pass along normals and other projects I'm wanting to do down the road.
    If they catch on, I'm going to need to up production for sure :)

    I think rats could be a good income. I know I give my rodent guy a ton of money :p

    The texture and details are amazing looking in person. I'm hoping I can cut this down a little to fit in a 10 gallon flipped. Would love to see one of my OBTs web the Hell out of it.

    how did you reach out to pet stores about your roaches? did you just show up and ask them if they are interested in roaches?

    Store manager was talking to a person that knows me. Some how roaches came up as a topic and she said she would love to test them out.

    I called the head manager and got an ok for her to test them in the store.
    I think they have a total of 6 stores so I'm really hoping they catch on.

    Most people can't get past the term "roach". We will see.

    Monday I go in and talk to everyone and teach them about roaches. :p

    Only the adult males look like a "roach"

    They really are a fun bug to raise.

    ThaNks!!
    Her webbing is crazy looking plus she has crazy burrows. They are the best of both worlds.

    I think they would be a great pet for a dorm. As long as it didn't get out :o or loud music.

    I found the grub when I was looking for millipedes. It kinda freaks me out. Hoping it would change soon so I can see what it is. :D

    Haha, they are! My friend actually had one, then his step father actually killed it:/
    I could imagine how many people would freak if it did haha, but then again, I am majoring in zoology and my floor would be all zoology students so they might be fascinated by it...

    Lmao, keep us updated with pics!

    I think FedEx 2 day will work. I'm not trusting USPS right now. Seems like they are cutting corners to save money.

    Soon I hope!

    Yeah but this move there is no set spot it's where ever i end up being hired. So I don't feel like dealing with making sure she is ok with where I end up being hired and I don't want to deal with making sure she's cool with living in the new place because ill be busy as crap that first year so she'll have to keep her self entertained n she's not good at that. N the final is my college has connections that will rent us out rooms in their houses after they help us get a job in their department and most them will only let the new FF move in

    Couple of tips for your hole problem.

    :p

    Start with a small bit, step up a few sizes. Use a slow speed for the hole saw. Don't stop, the plastic kinda melts and will stick to the bit. If you stop then start, it will crack.
