    Good info on Lobsters Cam - I actually have a question. Have you ever experimented with using metal sheets or something similar (such as the aluminum roofing material) as decor in the climbing roach bins? I've been tempted to try it after someone recommended it to me for lobsters (his name evades me). Because they are capable of climbing smooth surfaces, the sheeting serves to add more surface area just as the egg flats or tp rolls may do, but it never needs replacing and stays cleaner...apparently.

    arielgasca420: what species are you keeping?

    I did have to lol a bit... yay for roach guides on FrogForum! ; )

    I am using Dubia blaptica. I have had them since mid july and I have not seen any nymphs. I thought maybe I had too many males so I feed about 6 of them to my frogs.

    I would be willing to bet the light is stressing them out. I would definitely switch to a ceramic heat emitter if I were you!

    That's an interesting idea. Never thought to use anything like that before. I saw a guy on youtube using this thing he made out of fiber board that looked pretty permenant. I thought about making one but decided it was just easier to stick with egg cartons.
