Loki had his first dubias today and he nommed them very happily, so I'm going to try to get a colony going now.
I have a Rubbermaid tub that I believe is a 14-gallon that I'm planning to use. What size heating mat would I use to get the right temps? I'm planning to use a tip I saw in this forum of sandwiching the heat mat between two cooling racks and put it under one end. Can I put it on the carpet or should I find a firm base to stand it on? I don't want to melt my carpet or my roaches. I will buy a thermostat if necessary, I found the right one on Amazon. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
