Hello, I've narrowed down my next species to set up to either little penguin roaches (ectobiid sp. "Malaysia"), Costa Rican banana roaches, or blaberus colosseus.
I recently bought the tank pictured below, it measures 24x12x17, and has a mesh lid.
I'm pretty sure it would be best for the little penguins, as I wanted something taller for the colossals, and I'm not sure it would hold enough humidity for the bananas with the mesh top. Thoughts?
Plz ignore the mess, as you can tell by the ace wraps I was recently injured and haven't been cleaning much 😅😵

I'd take care of what you use for the lid, especially if you are breeding the roaches. That silicone bead in the four corners is like putting ladders in there and they will absolutely be able to climb to the top...

Yeah for sure, most of the species I'm thinking about getting are able to climb 😅 the lid seems pretty secure, and with some bug barrier I feel like they should be safe
