Eliminate the silicone and I've placed clear packers tape all around the top just in case, no escapees. Humidity needs to be high, I have condensation build up on half the glass always. Yes in the pic, the blue dish in front has water, they will drink it. The white dish in back is the food bowl, (4" across by 1" deep) and I feed twice weekly. Prior to feeding T's, I remove what I need and gut load them. Btw, my 6" B. albopilosum female won't eat roaches, only crickets and super worms. Spoiled!  Hope yours is not that way with roaches.[emoji4]</blockquote>
