Tell her if she uses a paper towel tube to capture and shake the roaches in, they don't escape. HATE crickets!  You all will appreciate this: I had to tear apart a live-planted gecko viv sitting beside my son's crib to kill one banded cricket male. It had been chirping loudly for nearly three weeks, totally destroying the good sleeping habits I'm trying to establish!  The Day Geckos will not have crickets ever again!  Took over an hour![ATTACH]6325[/ATTACH] So yes, roaches!  I also had two Bearded Dragons trained to pick crickets off the walls. They learned if I ran in and scooped them up w/o warning and ran off to point their nose in a corner to look for a quick snack.</blockquote>
