Worth it compared to Vaseline? Seems a really good deal,
but money's tight and I'm thinking about just going with the cheap stuff.
Buying Lobster roaches, wasn't planning to breed them but I'm thinking about small scale breeding while my Discoids establish themselves and now I have to worry about containment problems.

How long does it last? Failure rate?
Will have to coat atleast a 10 gallon, a 20 gallon, and a 50 gallon with a 1 oz thing, will it be enough?
Possibly getting a 2 oz if I really need it to coat those 3 tanks and maybe a 35 gallon rubbermaid if it comes to it
(Somehow I think that Lobster small scale breeding isn't possible)

Thanks in advance

2 oz should cover it. The band doesn't have to be two wide. Mine last several months and I've never had anything get past it. If you start to breed lobsters and get to many you can slow them down by dropping the temps.

I have been looking and can't find anyone who still sells small amounts of this stuff!

There is a company in the feeder section that sells it. I think it Reptyles LTD or something. I will probably start selling it soon, but its expensive. Still worth every penny.

Reptayls@yahoo.com $9 shipped for 1 ounce, 15 for 2.. very affordable.. but I'm likely just going to use Vaseline.. I'm not dealing with thousands yet and when my lobsters are gone, I'm going to have a few hissers in a 5 gallon long (Think 10 gallon, now half it's height) which has a sturdy lid anyways
