Lobster roaches...

[leobreeder182]

Well I know i should have looked into this sooner but, let's say perhaps 2-5 roaches get out, would they start to breed like crazy through out the house and will I have roaches everywhere? I'm very paranoid about this I might just sell them and get crix again. Thank you.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Being that you’re from Michigan as soon as winter comes it should kill all escapees off. Just be careful not to let any out………..

I would say that all depends on a few factors here such as humudity , temperature and food supply.
If you have a basement they could very well survive, if the proper sexes met up and did the whoopie.
I used to breed hissers about a year ago and two weeks ago I found a live but stressing adult in my basement.
I now only breed cave roaches that cannot climb glass.

My house gets pretty warm sometimes, but even in the summer, escaped lobsters don't fare well in my house. I always find the escaped ones again a few days later, very weak and dehydrated. It's only like 2% (maybe less) of all roach species that are house pests. I don't think lobsters can really adapt to the kind of lifestyle where the food and water resources aren't immediately within their reach as they would be in the confines of a small enclosure.
