best idea is to put them in a ice cream tub and put vaseline along the sides so they cant climb out .

i find they are too quick and clever to let them free roam .

I put them the fridge to cool first so that when they go in the viv the lizards have a chance of eating a few before they warm enough to do the scatter run into the corners.

The roaches and the cresties are both nocturnal so im sure they wont last long in there, try putting a little food in there for the roaches to help lure them out. Very Happy
