Default Dubia Roaches.. Not impressed :(

I had 200 delivered today which were sent in a plastic tub, wrapped in newspaper inside a cardboard. They were meant to escape..
I'm really really scared of insects and have never dealt with cockroaches before.

I pulled away a sheet of newspaper and screamed, there was a tiny baby cockroach, smaller than a woodlouse crawling on it.. Not happy.
Then my other half who hates cockroaches too said "I though they were in a tub?"

And me not knowing he'd seen an adult one too... went towards the box again.
Then I saw it, screamed, threw the knife I'd used to open the box and proceeded to cry

I'm such a wuss.. needless to say I wont be buying roaches ever again, although the beardies enjoyed about 50 of them between the 3 of them.

No thank god, my other half came to the rescue as he knew there was no chance I could go back to the box again...
They're now in the bottom of a kitchen bin with a mesh lid on just incase they get knocked over by a boisterous 2 year old lol..

Really sorry, i had to laugh!

Reminds me of when i was on the phone talkin to Schip whilst picking some crix out of a tub, they`d been in the fridge so i assumed they were sleepy...one hopped out onto my arm and i immediately hurled both full tub of crickets and the telephone across the kitchen with a few choice swearwords
