  • when taping the inside does it need to be one piece of tape or can i do small strips layered over each other

  • @tadeadliest Keep them as long as you can along the straight areas. I overlap smaller strips around the corners with n/p. It's more important to get the air bubbles out.

  • Very helpful, thanks

    Do you suggest a clear or dark colored tub? I've seen both. I was thinking that dark would be preferred because the roaches don't like lite.

  • @Aquajerryum I like dark colored tubs just as you said for less light. Glad the video was helpful to you!

  • can you use vasaline insted of tape

  • @TheEvilPaintballer - Everyone used to but roaches can still get thru it. Tapes just easier and less messy. Works like a charm too!

  • Thanks man for take in the time to make this video!! A++

  • Hey man. As far as I'm concerned, these things are REALLY legit, and easy to take care of. I got 10 males and 10 females and 25 nymphs for like $20 on craigslist, and I was just wondering if I should seperate the little Nymphs from the biggers ones. Because I see people talking about doing that. But I've had my little colony growing pretty good for a couple months now, and I haven't really gone out of my way at all to take care of them like that. Any help about separation would be nice.

  • @UnhappyBook I wish I could but I cannot ship internationally. Your best bet would be to keep an eye on the classifieds found on different international forums. I'm not too familiar who has what in Canada but I'm sure someone on a forum could guide you to someone who sells them up there. Good Luck!

  • this is gonna sound stupid prob :P but do u ship to Canada i got 2 bearded dragons n hate crickets but i cant find a place to sell them ?
