Supers are impossible to contain...at least in something a gecko can see into! I just feed them one by one with tongs. They usually don't last long at all :)

I put two small supers in the same glass bowl as the mealies last night. As far as I can tell one is missing but I'm not sure if Tiamat ate him or if he escaped. They don't seem to be able to climb the glass bowl which has approximately 1.5 inch sides.

With the dishes i use i would say that you can put about 8-10 supers and i rarely have any escape. Feeding from tongs works well, but i have about 30 geckos that eat supers so it will just get too time consuming, Luckily I have found something that works great and is very inexpensive. The pyrex dishes look really nice but cost too much. I found these at walmart in the Candle section. Its called a tea candle holder. only cost $ .50 I try and pick up at least 5 everytime i go to walmart. i have about 60 of them (getting ready for the babies.) I use them for All my geckos from hatchlings to adults and even as Calcium Dishes. They are really easy to sanitize because they are glass so you wont have to worry about Cross Contamination. Here they are:

Thats a really good idea! I'll be looking for them! My one, lone little guy prefers supers over mealies and even waxies, but they have been quite the challenge to contain.
