A few pics of the lobster roaches with the egg carton removed. This is just one of my smaller breeder tubs. See how they will not climb past the Vaseline barrier. Beautiful aren't they Laughing

Those are great pics Rick lol, and it looks like you've got some pretty healthy numbers of lobsters on the go!

I got some Rhypharobia roaches recently. I don't know if you've seen these/have these. They are pretty much like a large meaty lobster, soft bodied, glass climber, but slower, and with reduced Houdini tendencies, if you know what I mean. I know a German lizard breeder who swears by them. I'm a long way from building up the numbers for feeding though...

No I have not seen these or heard of them, do you keep them the same as you would lobsters? Are they as prolific and live bearers?

I use tongs or a cricket tub with a smear of vasoline around the rim.

Ummm...

none of mine would work like that.. the agamas for instance would take a flying leap into the cricket tub.. and knock them flying..

any more ideas?
