It is not difficult to breed them at all as long as you give them the right conditions. 90-100 degree hot spot (litereally, these guys like it warm) 70-75% humidity. Do NOT let it go below 55, they will die during molts and just die from lack of water. Keep them dark.Originally Posted by blackcrystal22
Ive got my colony set up in a rubbermaid tub with a small screen in the top for air flow. I've found that after 10-11 months some of my original colony breeders are starting to die off, but I've got plenty of others to take their place. It probably took a good 3 months for the colony to get going. Every once in a while I do take a week or two where I get different bugs (mealies or something) to feed to everyone to give the colony a chance to grow.
They are really REALLY easy. Having them has made getting feeders REALLY cheap. The start up is expensive, but once they get going you're good. There is no way I could have the amount of geckos I have without going broke without the roaches.
