The Great Roach Escape!

[jarich]

I keep my roach tubs on top of my monitor tank, so they are about 7 feet high. I went to take the first tub down today to put more food in there for them. I nearly dropped the thing, as a whole bunch were sitting on the outside and trying to scurry away! Not a nice way to start out the Monday morning. I scoured the room and found a couple more escapees.

How? They chewed through the fiberglass screen on top. I had no idea they could do this, but it was very plain to see that some of them had done just that and climbed out the hole. Admittedly, I am largely to blame as I had left the egg crates stacked high enough to allow them to get to the screen. Just thought I should give everyone a heads up; they can chew through normal screen if given the chance.
