Hello again- please look at my new son Shrek. I ‘rescued’ a pair of older hissing roaches over the weekend from a neighbor who was moving and needed to rehome them urgently.

They’re going from a substrate-free Critter Keeper with a paper towel tube hide to a 10-gallon semi-bioactive setup. It’s been really fun to watch the male explore dirt, leaves, rocks, and bark for the first time (the female remains in the paper towel tube so now I have a lovely little simulated forest floor with a big paper towel tube in the middle).

Thank you, that is all.
