Anybody kept these guys before? Do they move fast or are they clumsey?
 
you mean death heads? never heard of orange head
 
Eublaberus prosticus, I just need to know how fast they are.
 
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?
 
I'm hoping to get a couple from Crunchy Critters Roach Farm.
 
"Hmmmmm....crunchy critters........." (in Homer Simpson voice).
 
no, orange heads can climb plastic and glass... best to put a layer of vasoline near the top of the tank
 
Spec, Everybody I've asked says they can't climb, plus I've seen 'em myself, they can't climb.
