Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Jay" data-source="post: 128330" data-attributes="member: 27677">For roaches I use clean pantyhose, I usually buy them new and get a large size, and stretch the waistband over the top of the enclosure. I then hold the legs up and cut them off making a hole in the middle . [ATTACH=full]29032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]29034[/ATTACH] Then I twist the hole closed and secure it with a rubber band. I still put the lid on over the pantyhose as protection from the outside, and as a double layer from the inside, sometimes there are holes and I'll find big roaches under this. The penalty for trying to escape is death by cichlid![ATTACH=full]29031[/ATTACH]I also use the pantyhose with crickets if they're small, but if they can get to the top they will chew through the pantyhose now and then.</blockquote>
