I agree. Also, hornworms, for which tomatoes are a host plant, are toxic when WC. The ones sold as feeders are raised on a synthetic diet.
I do love your enclosures though. I like the brick idea. I have a spring/summer outdoor enclosure for my tortoises made of landscaping timbers, but the bricks look a lot better. Project time!
