I have had several male T's I got quite attached to but the problem with males is short life spans. I have a Dubia Roach colony and a hissing roach almost colony as well. Hissing roach nymph's to my surprise are quite the escape artist and I lost probably a generation of them. I need to rehouse them to cut down on escapes. I separated the next set of nymph's ( all I could find) to a small enclosure to raise them in. They are putting on size quickly. Thing that surprise me most is how little the hissers eat. Mine are are full and healthy but don't really eat like I thought they would. Do you keep your hissers on the humid side or dry?? I find that to get them to drink I squirt  water at them and they will drink. I seen them drink off one another. Lol! Do you have Emerald roaches?? Can't remember their scientific names but those are the coolest roaches I've ever seen! Anyway, Happy Spoodering and Roaching!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
