Alright, so i have 2 bearded dragons. Buying crickets for them is a little costly, so i decided to start breeding roaches to save money. The thing is I'm on a super tight budget, i already bought some roaches but the problem I'm having is with the heat.
I CANNOT buy a heat pad, i simply don't have the money and need to work with what i got. I was trying to come up with ideas, and instead of wasting money and killing them i instead thought id ask someone.
If i use a infrared bulb would they be able to see that and flip out?
my second option is putting them in my Attic, i live in Louisiana so its hot most days and its dark up there. The problem with that is I'm afraid it would be to hot and to cold at night, I'm really stressing out about this because I really need to make this work or my dragons wont have ANY food.
My third idea would be to use the infrared light (which is red obviously) and then build the other side of the tank all dark, with some black plastic were the light wouldn't show through. I really just need some help, thank you all very much in advance i appreciate it.
