Classroom Pet













This is one of the baby Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches that lives in my classroom. (I'm not sure if this is "Ronald" or "McDonald".) They are a little over an inch long right now and may double in size before they're full grown. I have a kind of love/hate feeling towards the concept of pet cockroaches. It creeps me out a LOT to have them in the room, but I must admit that they are pretty cool, as long as I don't have to touch them. These cockroaches are pretty spoiled. The kids bring them fruit to supplement their dry food and there is a heater attached to the side of their cage.
