God forbid!  LMAOThat said - the lats cant climb smooth walls so they wont be in 'touch' with aluminum or whatever is in your container lid.  I have been raising lats for about 6 months now - they are very interesting - the Ts find them interesting as well!  I did find that in the small room I heat to 80-82(the Ts that are in that room are thriving as well) they needed misting x2 daily in order to thrive and really start multiplying more rapidly(their enclosures have vented water containers to produce humidity but that seemed not to be enough - they have really taken off since I started misting).  I do alternate some crickets every week or two and that seems to give the roaches 'grow' time...and when the roach population is high then no problem feeding several smaller roaches as opposed to one large...keeps Ts busy.  I tried the dubias but they dug in and did not get dug up!</blockquote>
