    +1 On covering your bases; I've already heard a horror story of not only the roaches in the colony being harmed, but an unfortunate herp who was fed a poisoned individual from said colony being killed as well. Good call on the double vaseline job ; )

    I've contemplated getting rid of my lobsters after a few escapee scares. They are the only species in my roach collection that I fear for potential infestation after having them breed in temperatures as low as 70 degrees F and minimalistic care... but they are just too cute to part with, lol.

    Yeah, I like observing roaches, having them living freely in my house to crawl over my face while I sleep is not okay. This is why I take my roach poison seriously XD I would be devastated if I fed my frog a poison roach :'(

    I dunno about cute, they are just SO prolific I know I will never lose them to a colony crash, lol
