So true. They also dont bite like crickets so if you lose one in the cage, they wont eat your lizard.
I had a male escape once as they do fly/glide. I was watching TV and saw this huge 747 go flying by and land on the wall. I was like "Holy Jebus!! What was that??!" I thought it was some weird huge animal/bug that got in my house. Grabbed a shoe and was ready to beat some butt. I walked over there and there was a huge male roach sitting on the wall lol.
The thing i like about them is if you get an escapee, they dont do well in the winter without heat so they will die.
