I bought a few roaches as a treat for my tarantulas a few days ago. My G. pulchripes munched them right up but my L. parahybana wanted nothing to do with them. I decided to give them to my G. rosea, which hasn't eaten in months, but this is where the story gets interesting.
I live in a suite at college and I was moving them in to a dresser drawer because we have a fire and safety inspection in an hour. (I'm allowed to have them, but I prefer to not make a scene about it and just hide them away when they do the inspections, as I had to fight to keep them last year). When I was moving a roach from one cage to the other, a roach hit the ground and disappeared. I have absolutely no idea where it went and I cannot locate it. It might have run under the door but I checked the hallway immediately after and it was not there (unless it had made it into someone else's room already). I put a towel under the door and looked around some more but I simply cannot find it. The hunt continues but we still have the inspection in a few minutes, and if they notice it when they are inspecting, it will not bode well for my ability to keep them in the future.
Obviously, this is completely and totally my fault but I can't help but be amazed at the timing of it all. I'll keep this thread updated, I think it's about time I inform everyone that there's a 3" cockroack roaming around freely... This is not going to end well.
