You can always cut a raw apple or sweet potato in half and give to the roaches. It helps with feeding and keeping them hydrated. Our cricket colony loves raw potatoes and it's a cheap way to feed 'em.
I know one is a Pink Toe and she's chill as can be. We can easily change her water and have our hands near her, sometimes she will let you hold her. She's a nice size and her little toes are pink, her names Pixie.
The other one is bigger and I'm not sure which kind he is, I will have to ask my...
Cool! We have two tarantulas. They are awesome. Just a note of caution, if they feel threatened they can flick hairs from their abdomens which can hurt and cause an allergic reaction. Usually just an annoying rash. It's called Urticating hairs. Just a heads up. Definitely don't want one of their...

Thanks! It is a lot! Probably too many.. especially with the niles as they can get up to 6ft when full grown. Don't know how that's going to work out! Husband has a bit of an obsession with reptiles lol. I like them but I'm more of a bird lady lol

One everglade rat snake, box turtles,2 tarantulas, one scorpion, australian dumpy tree frog, etc
