Heat pads for dubia roaches

[patrickmb21]

Where can i find a heating pad for my dubia roach breeding that does not auto shutoff. i have already went to walmart and they only sell the kind that auto shutoff in 3 hours.

thanks, patrick

Would a gardening store or gardening section of a store have heat mats? Or do those tend to be auto shutoff as well. :study:
If all else fails, I'm sure you can find them online though!

Heat tape, heat cable, and ten gallon heat mats sold in the reptile section work just fine. I use cable.

I use a reptile heat pad with a thermostat for my glass breeder tank now, but I have in the past used a human heating pad. I always found the ones that don't shut off at the "cheap" stores, like the Dollar General. Amazon has a pretty wide selection also.

I called around different pharamecies until I found two that carry them that do not shut off.

Thank you. which pharmacies carry them?

There are tutorials online that demonstrate how to deactivate the auto off function on Sunbeam (wal mart) heat pads. It's pretty simple if you have a soldering iron. I do not, but I'm going to have to buy one if the tank doesn't stay warm. I live in an older house that has heated floors, so I'm hoping they'll be ok this winter.

I got a Sunbeam brand oversized heating pad without automatic shutoff from Amazon.com
Less than $20 shipped!

The two pharmecies I found them at were private pharmacies in my area. I would just call around.

The link provided by beer hunter is the same heating pad I got. I keep it on low, works great!
