I have a bunch of petri dishes still lying around that I bought years ago with the intention to fill them myself with an agar medium and experiment with them to get my kids involved, but I never got to executing that plan... Getting tempted though 🦠🦠🦠

would have loved to do that but they are all gone since last week 🙁 the males only live for 5-7 months and the females about 10-14 months. I had them for 9 months and they weren't babies when I got them so they actually lived pretty long.

Like I mentioned earlier, I think the cockroach terrarium would be interesting as a second. Could open the conversation on how (un)sanitary they are. A full comparison between multiple terrarium (if you get a second set) would also be interesting though. Especially for comparable "types"/niches of animals, such as cockroaches and isopods.
