Anywho, yes it is true they can. a member on this forum had one chew through and escape, ended up biting his GF in the bed.. he got rid of his collection at htat point lol fair play!
Basically, the chances arent high at all, but it is possible. though a simple resolve is thicker, stronger plastic.

As mentioned a couple of times in this thread, yes, I've been bitten by an escapee in my bed, after a ninja power-rangered 'pede managed to bite its way out of a double plastic enclosure... Actually, it chewed all around an air hole till it could squizze itself through.
That was two years ago and since then I've been keeping hundreds of them for working purposes. None escaped since so I end up thinking that I was just really unlucky with the little bd!!
Lets just say that it is way better to keep your pede in an escape proof container than spending sleepless nights wondering where and when the big boy will show up...
