You used to wake up with around 40 bites? Yikes, that's scary. =( My house used to be filled with roaches, mostly, which would get onto food whenever you had something in the kitchen without any protection of sorts; it was a little disgusting. Thank god that we don't have to face it anymore!
Ooh, breeding. I'm not much of an expert on that, but it's still fun, ahah. Will get better someday, though, hopefully!
