yes, especially babies of lateralis are able to climb on ''apparently'' smooth surface, like glass, since they have less weight. however, i've found that when they do this it is not really ''smooth'', some dirt is present so it gives them a foothold. the most effective way (and cheapest) is to put saranwrap, about 3 inches in height around the inside of the enclosure. secure this with some tape to keep it tight, and voila no escapees for sure. never had any problem with this method. also, I am a bit skeptical with the invasive reputation people sometimes give them. unless you live in a humid and warm place year round, they won't breed indoors (i remember a thread on another forum where a guy that lived in utah had a few HUNDREDS of them getting out and never had any problem with invasion). dubia is a good choice tho, but it really depends on the size of your critters and how fast you want them to breed.

cheers! Fred
