#pet cockroaches

[yolkverse]

Following up from my other post, here are my pet invertebrates and their vivariums :3

Scuttler's (giant african millipede) vivarium isn't perfect right now as he needs deeper substrate as well as ideally needing a larger vivarium to wander in (and higher humidity, but he's experiencing foot-rot right now so only the area with his plant is moist), but I'll be reworking it when he recovers.

He is happy though! :D

There are three roaches but Scooby is always the most active with the best photos, and unfortunately the others don't fit into the photo limit but I'll probably post about them lots later on!

I'd really like to build a bigger collection of inverts and give them larger vivariums in the future, but right now I have very very little space so it's just me and my four little guys :3

truly don’t understand how a small subset of ppl with animal phobias use that to justify eradication of an animal. just because you’re afraid of dogs doesn’t mean nobody in the world should have a dog etc etc etc. especially for wild animals…even if it’s an insect or other ‘gross’ animal you don’t need to comment on people’s posts about conservation or just appreciation to be like “well i FUCKING HATE that guy so there shouldn’t be any”

Collage I made of roach diversity. There are so many varieties, the pests give this group a bad name.

AU where Yaoshi is Luocha’s parent and he’s that one kid who torments their parent with bugs they find to avoid being picked up from playdates

"Herpy Holidays" - 2012

Old piece, but still very loved by friends. This was a Christmas card featuring my ball python, Mort, and an orangehead roach (I was very big into roach keeping back in the day). Mort is still around today at 21 years old! She's been with me for more than half my life.
