Can't seem to figure out....

[Whitey]

Can't seem to figure out which roaches 1) can't climb out of a plastic tub or fly out of it 2) can't climb glass (I guess that goes hand in hand with climbing a plastic tub...lol) 3)can be shipped to Florida.

I would like to try some roaches for my geckos but can't seem to find a good fit. Anyone have any suggestions and where to get them from? Thanks in advance.

when I fed lobster roaches I bought them from LLL Reptile and yes they climb as well,just use vaseline around the top of the bin and that should work.

It scares me that they climb.... lol. What if the vaseline doesn't work? Then I'll have lobster roaches all around my house... lol. I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to get those.

I used the vaseline with mine and none of them escaped but I don't like roaches so I switched to crickets.

Yeah, I've been doing crickets, but that smell is KILLING me. In the summer it's not so bad because I can keep them in the garage, but in the winter up here it gets pretty cold so I have to bring them into a closet. When I open up that closet though.... WHHEEEEWWWW!!! Hence, me looking for roaches... lol

can't you use discoids, I think that's the name.

Very similar to Dubia I believe but one difference is that males and females looking exactly the same.

Some links I found..
