Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kevin Levites" data-source="post: 219493" data-attributes="member: 11901">I am getting 4 new tarantulas tomorrow.I live in Florida, and I have access to wild roaches collected in a rural area.I've heard divided opinions.I imagine that roaches from a house or garden may have been exposed to toxins and/or pesticides, so could be dangerous for a pet tarantula.But what about roaches and beetles collected from the boondocks?I want to experiment with some dietary diversity as opposed to always using crickets, meal worms, and silkworm moths.What are your thoughts?Thank you in advance.</blockquote>
