Maybe
Idk I just don't fear their escaping but if they do they will go to a warm source which is another roach bin or a cage and to answer that last question because dubia is shorter and lobster is shorter lol but maybe u can help me with the dubias what might cause death lately I have been...
Dubia
They might breed fast but lobsters are at least twice as fast lol i actually got some lobsters in the dubia cage on accident and i had a few hundred in there before i new it lol and they won't infest ur house lol I havnt had any escapes and they require tropical environments just like the...
Faster
Dubias are cool but take time u can get lobsters for cheaper and will breed Soooo much faster personally I have both because I like the size difference but the dub colony is Soooo slow I'd be screwed if I didn't have the lobsters too because I just got three new panther bbys that eat up...
Lol
My gf hates them too in fact now she doesn't mind the superworms she even handles them now lol I'm still warming her up to the roaches lol tolerance comes with time but yeah roaches are way better economically and don't smell and escape less. I have dubias and lobsters I'd suggest trying...
They can't jump
Roaches don't jump oh yeah and they don't smell too bad but yeah depends on the roach of how good it can escape. I have dubias which can't climb and aren't that fast so housed in a tub they can't get out. I also have lobsters which I like much better because they breed so fast...
Cup feeding
I have had that problem before but just make sure they can access the cup I just put at bottom of cage with branches near by and one across the top works much better I think can minutes eating habits better and they can't hide but just make sure it's accessible and wait it make take...
Dedication
If u have the time to invest and research and monitoring I still think it's worth a try that's the fun of creating a unique habitat and identifying chameleon stress isn't very hard. I personally wouldn't because I have like 24 other reptiles I care for not including my five chams so...
Get a 5 not 10
To much output on the ten and that might be why but it might lead to other problems. Also iv never had that problem with a cham but I had a Bby beardie that had an eye that wouldnt open just used regular eye drops almost instantly cured :)
Yeah
It's better to use screen but I know many people who how's their bbys in screen topped glass cages. As long as u keep the bacteria down meaning be very OCD about water puddling and stuff clean the cage often..don't get me wrong though screen is better though
Congrats
Just remember to remove dead crickets they seem to spread death lol anyway I gave up on crickets roaches so much easier and live birth and no escapes.
Go for it
I havnt tried free ranging but it seems if ur room is big enough and there are two separate places for them to bask an eat and such they should be fine. You're best bet is too try it but keep a close eye and if there is problems be ready to have an actual enclosure for one if it...
