    What's up everyone. I'm getting some dubia roaches tomorrow, an have a small hisser colony going. Just wondering if any of you kind folks have time to post your different set ups, I have hissers in a tank an thinking Rubbermaid for dubia. I have a plastic shelving thing (the four shelf hard plastic) I was thinking of putting flexwat on so that both colony's get some heat. Idk just starting so getting all the kinks ironed out. So what do you all have?

    I have my dubia in a Rubbermade tub. I heat with an 8" long strip of 3" FW. Paper towel tubs for hides and I feed/water with roach block that I make. They breed and grow like crazy for me

    Every 3-4 months the bottom breeding tub gets sorted. All the babies go to the top and each tub moves down one slot.

    This gives me a breeding tub and 3 sorted sizes.

    My t-stat is set to around 98, the bottom of the tub is about 95ish a small gradient to the top so they can self regulate some.

    I give them a very mixed diet. Throw in some fresh produce when I have it.

    So far I'm really happy with this set up and works well for my needs.

    Skulls are those just those close organizer drawers? They don't climb out the top?

    The tops are open, just pull out tubs. They can't climb smooth plastic.

    Yeah I can't wait until they get there. I'll be tracking them all morning! Hope they are safe.
