[QUOTE="Vermis, post: 199775, member: 37487"] I've already said recently, but there's something about roaches I really like. Relatively simple to feed and look after, and there's something satisfying about watching them proliferate, even though that usually takes minimum effort too. It's like when I started with stick insects as a kid, except I don't have to go gather prickly brambles for them. And their role as supplementary or even the main source of livefood is a bonus. The Allpet Roaches forum is out there for much more, and better, research and advice than I can provide. Funny, I can't remember ever keeping hissers. They're the go-to beginner roach, but there's so many more to look at, including other big, showy, handleable species. I've kept a couple of scorpions in my time. If you're talking beginner species, I had a [I]Pandinus imperator[/I]. Big, bulletproof and very docile. Kept it like a semifossorial T, with a cork bark hide. (Though this was back when tropical T's were kept with a bit of humidity) I gather they're a lot harder to get your hands on these days, and you pay a corresponding price. I can't speak to how Heterometrus are as replacement beginner species, but other keepers don't seem to have problems. [/QUOTE]
