Since when did people like roaches as pets.

[GMSamuelRhine]

@uglydollsinc123 yeah, these are the best, all the other breeds of roach look pretty nasty, these are nice and clean.

[Frogexpert6]

Awesome! But why are these people hissing about how gross it is when the cockroach should be hissing O.O

[JohnsLazy]

I wish I had the tolerance and courage to let a cockroach that big (and other "nasty" insects as well) crawl over my hands.

Would eliminate a lot of fear which is good.
