roach heating

[booshified]

What do people use out there? I wanna keep my temps up so that they breed and often as possible.

I am looking for something to use with a plastic tub.

Anyone know of any heat pads with thermostats?

I'm using a zoomed pad and it works fine. In my one colony enclosure that's kept insulated outside, it's actually a little too hot (low 100's in spots).

If you're just keeping it in a house a single pad should be fine. I have that going also, and they seem to be breeding pretty good.

I have a colony of Dubias I am starting that I keep in a plastic tub. So far I am only using a heating pad (for people) and I keep it on all the time. I have 5 roach crates inside and the temp at the very bottom has been staying at around 85 degrees F.
I have noticed that the babies stay closer to the bottom and the adult males are higher up. I have had the colony for only a few weeks but I have noticed new babies. Not sure if they are breeding as fast as possible but so far this set-up seems to work.
