I got excited to find a handful of cockroaches in my potting soil because it meant free tarantula food.

I've been wanting to give them a little more variety in their diet, but because I live in Florida, I can't have roaches shipped to me (illegal apparently). So I've been trying to find some cockroaches at work and home to give to them, but everyplace is just too clean! (I'm a neat freak) I have a small potted vegetable garden growing outside and I keep a bag of organic soil on the patio. When I moved it today, one BIG roach and 5 little ones scurried out. I got so excited I immediately dropped to the floor and started catching them. The T's LOVED it. They jumped on them very quickly.
