Dubia Roaches and Containers?
I will be getting 30 nymphs and 5 adults so I can start my own colony, how big of a container do I need? I saw a really cool 6.5 quart plastic shoe box that I'm going to paint black or tape construction paper over it, or should I get a 26 quart shoe box and do the same thing?
Here is a photo of both:

Re: Dubia Roaches and Containers?
You could use either for now, the only problem would be down the road you would need to get a bigger tub. Also if you are using egg crate you would have to cut down all your egg crates to fit in those tubs.
Most people just use a big 18g sterilite container. I got my gray one at walmart for $4.50 and that will house tons of dubia. Plus egg crates will stand straight up and you dont have to cut anything. This size may be a little big for just 35 but it wont matter if its too big, they will grow into it in a few months if they are good breeders An if you get the solid color you wont have to paint or anything.
