I live in Florida and I'm trying to breed discoids. Currently I have about 30-40 medium - full grown adults in a 10 gallon with a bunch of egg cartons. I have them in a tank and not a bin because from what it says on the package the heat mat should not be used on plastic. While they seem to be doing ok in there right now, I just ordered 100 roach maternity ward, and 2 shipments of 50 small to medium and I fear that the 10 gallon wont be big enough. Can anyone link me to a heat mat that I can safely leave on the bottom of a decent sized moving bin that will keep it at 90-95 degrees. I will be at school for most of the day and wont really be able to keep an eye on the bin so if it were to start to melt of even worse catch fire it could be very bad. Is a heat mat like that even a thing or will I just have to hope I can find a bigger tank? It might be a bit though because discoids are super expensive and I also bought a big jug of water gel stuff so my budget for bugs is too low to buy a 20 gallon or up. If anyone knows a good heat mat I would love it if you could link it or provide enough details that I can easily find it, I have very bad luck when it comes to finding stuff online. Thanks
Edit: What is a good diet for discoid colony? currently I have that diet for crickets that comes in a big 6 lb jug from flukers. They seem to eat it but is it healthy for them? What fruits and veggies should they be eating, keeping in mind that they will be feeding my beardie. Currently I give them a peeled apple once a week and sometimes an orange if I have one. Last thing is the bug burger stuff really that good? I see a lot about it while looking at discoid roach colony videos.
