At the moment, the highest temperature I've been able to reach is about 71 degrees fahrenheit. The heat pad itself is warm but not hot when I touch it. :|
are you checkign the air temp on top of the egg creates? i keep my probe down into the middle of the bugs, and our temps are high 80's. but thats in an unheated basement, if i laid the probe on top, i'm sure it would be less, the dubias create their own heat. the more roaches, the more heat they create.
Oh! That's great to know! I had the probe positioned above the egg crates because I didn't want to place it on the floor just because I thought they could crawl up the wire somehow and run out (totally paranoid, I know). Thank you! I was somehow under the impression that the whole bin had to be in the 80s all around.
