An 8 year old named Shelby Counterman from Tulsa, Oklahoma started becoming addicted to them when she was 18 months and on her 3rd birthday, her parents gave her 5 of them as pets.
Her collection today has now expanded to over 5000 roaches, 17 different species and she even likes to sleep with them.
Diagnoses with neurofibromatosis and even having benign brain tumor, these creepy crawlies are a way to calm her and make her feel better.
