The roaches are awesome! They don't smell, don't make noise, they live for a good year or more, they love warm, humid environments(so if they get out, they die, major plus), and they are VERY prolific breeders. Most of the species can't climb or fly. I like the babies, they look like little pill bugs.

Mine live in a cricket container from Armstrong Crickets(big white plastic container with mesh lid) on cypress mulch. They have some planter saucers as hides. I feed them chick feed and various veggies/dark greens. They are such easy things to raise.
