I've had this colony for 6 months now, this is the 3rd time I've counted and things are looking good! My question is how many do you feel can comfortably fit in a 30gal sterilite tote? I did a count and have 106 females, weeded down to 34 males, and ~1,760 nymphs. I'm limited in space but think...

So I wasn't going to clean them til the end of this month but when I checked on them this morning there were ants attacking the bin. I check on them in the morning/afternoon then before I go to bed, just to make sure the temperature in the bin is right since the temp here in Oregon is...

I went to check on my colony today and give them fresh veggies and there was what looked like a dead roach on the cool side by the veggie dish. Since I got them in February I've only had 1 dead and that was a male. I picked it up but it was still plump and kinda twitched it's feelers so I put it...

Since the beardie I rescued passed away I have all this baby food leftover that I don't want to toss. Is it ok to feed it to my roaches? There's turkey and sweet potato, chicken and squash, butternut squash, sweet potato, and green beans.

So, this baby is a customer return, was returned in horrible condition. He hasn't been eating and has been really lethargic. He went into iso for observation and on his second day of not eating went to the vet there at work. From what I can tell on the notes the Dr gave fluids or something. Two...

Title says it. I'm at the tail end of building an enclosure and since in Oregon and in house with no heater I need a CHE. I've been getting mixed answers whether it should be attached at the basking side or cool side. Does it not matter?

There are so many brands for the calcium dusting and then vitamin dusting and some are confusing by their description that they contain both. Which ones do you recommend?

I have a zoomed digital infrared thermometer and a zoomed digital thermometer with a probe. So I have the probe in my roach bin and it reads anywhere from 81-87 which is about 1/4 from the bottom of the egg crate. Right now it's reading 85 with the probe but when I check with my infrared it says...

You can try getting a standard aquarium background and stick that up. I have seen the white melamine roll-up sheets in hardware stores that you could try sticking up instead. That's what I'll be pasting to the inside of my wood viv so that it's not dark stain on the inside. I've also heard of...

After reading some threads here I decided to order from The Roach Guy. It wasn't easy convincing the roomies to allow roaches in the house but after explaining to them that these kinda aren't the kinda that will infest a house it was set as ok as long as I was UBER careful. I brought it up two...

The last thing I need for my roach bin is the heat. If you're using a heat cable or the flexwatt heat tape could you please post pics of your setup? On top of that my roommates are not so keen on roaches being in the house so I'll have to eventually find a way to have them in the garage. What...

First off, how do I make an enclosure stackable? Are there certain pegs made on the bottom that fit into slots on the top of the other or do you just set an enclosure on top of another? Is simply putting on top stable? I'm also reading that having them stacked makes the temperature uneven, the...

Enclosure size 4x2x2, I have a 20% off coupon to Petco so I was looking at the Zoo Med Basking Spot Lamp they have but was curious on what watt to use. I've been told 75w and 100w by two different stores. I'm confused and seeing what people on here think is the best for my size enclosure.

I'm wanting to get a bearded dragon, haven't had one since I was little and am getting a bit frustrated at the enclosure deal. Since I'm in the US there seems to be a lack of proper reptile enclosures available. Any that I've been able to find online want an arm and a leg or are in the UK. Argh...
