Well, they say they can't climb glass....but no experience myself. I imagine they are quite fast...but not too fast for a T or anything else to grab. If they are too fast for whatever purpose try tweezers are subdueing the roach first.

Where's you source?

no, orange heads can climb plastic and glass... best to put a layer of vasoline near the top of the tank
