    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Whats a good cage for hissers? I have mine in a 10 gal with a layontop lid, but I duck tape it down. So far though I've found 4 babies running around outside of the cage, so I'm guessing it isnt working. I dont really want to use a rubbermade tub for them
 
Roach escapees

You need to use some type of barrier around the top 2 inches or so of the glass. There are many kinds out there. Some people use vasaline, although I find that it melts and runs when it gets too warm, making a horrible mess. I have a one that I use called Super Slick Roach Barrier.
 
I would use both Vaseline + a lid over the enclosure. The nymphs can sometimes walk across a Vaseline barrier. I would have a lid with very fine holes for ventilation. I suggest using screen like for a window as part of the lid. They definitely need ventilation or the enclosure may develop into a perfect habitat for mold + fungus to flourish.
