In Reply to: Lobster roaches........ posted by rodmalm on May 13, 2003 at 06:02:10:

For now I am going to go with the lobsters :) I will just make sure I add a 4 inch band along the top with vaseline and keep a top on it as well. I feed my dragons by hand so th chances of escapees escaping from the cages is pretty much 0%. I just have to make sure they dont escape from the feeder bin. Also lobsters are more affordable at the moment and are more prolific to help keep up with the number of dragons I have. My hopes are to eventually own all 3 species of roaches (lobsters, hissers and orange heads) so that my animals have variety. They refuse to eat crickets. Picky kids I have! I am going to purchase 1000+ lobsters, so they better like them or I am going to be crap out of luck!hehe

How do you guys have your lobsters housed? what kind of substrate? What do you feed them? What temps do yuo keep them at? Is a dome light ok to use for added heat if so what kind of bulb should I use (black, blue, white, green etc)? Basically any other info you can give me or advice. Thanks, Lindsay Marie
