[QUOTE="kormath, post: 77493, member: 4199"] i use lats. i keep hearing the males jump but i've never seen any of my adult males jump. They fall quite well though. I've had a few fall and use their wings to slow the descent, but they can't fly. It's the best they can do so they don't splat when the land ;) The best part is it slows the descent so you can get a catch cup under them and not lose one. I'm at the point in my colony i'm waiting for the ooths to hatch and the middle sized ones to grow so the big T's will have sub adult/adults to eat. Right now i have 4 T's maybe 5 that eat the pinheads still, but they'll be molting soon and moving up to the next size larger lats. None of mine will eat dubia, although now that hte LP has molted he's big enough to eat the dubia i have so maybe he will eat them. I'm looking for another non-climbing roach species i can start a colony with to give my T's a bit of variety in their diet and hopefully hold balance out the feeding and populating in the lats :) Orange head roaches (E. posticus) seem to be a good choice. Anyone use them? [/QUOTE]
