Roachman26 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Just got a few to turn loose in the roach room. Anyone else use "natural" methods to round up "escapees". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Free-ranging them is a fun idea! Occasionally, my kids will hold their crested or leopard geckos in their hands, moving the lizard to the roach. A neighbor kid was selling buckets the other day (his dad's a drywaller). I bought 5 of the 5 gallons. I think these will alleviate the couple issues I've had with escapees. But let me know how the tokays fare!

They've done a very efficient job and started to look a little thin. There are no more escapees in that room. Now I have to leave a topless bin full of lateralis out for them. Each morning there are fewer lats than the night before and their weight is starting to look much better again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine live in a cage, and two days ago I found two small hatchlings running around (did not even know the female laid eggs). All on a diet of roaches.

All on a diet of roaches. That's pretty cool. I'm hoping mine reproduce. Although I'll probably have to capture and feed the babies so they don't starve to death. I just never see any escapees any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
