Hi there! I decided to run my own Dubia roach colony. :) I wanted to ask if I can use zoo meds under tank heater to keep them warm in one of those hefty plastic storage boxes?

You can, although I used to use a human heating pad back when I had a colony. I don't know if that's still something people do though. Lots changed since I've had a dubia colony lol.

An under tank heater will heat the frass and cause them to bury themselves to warm up. I'd just keep it on a thermostat and put it up on a wire rack or set it up in a way that allows airflow underneath the heat mat to protect against overheating.

I currently use a heat projector over the cardboard housing section of my colony and it works really well. Stays dark while projecting infrared heat through their housing. I think more of them can get warmed up this way.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
