I would definitely recommend a dubia colony as well, I hate crickets with a passion and don't even feed them anymore. I keep my colony in a 10 long (getting ready to move to a 20 long) with the 2 sides and the front blacked out with black latex paint. They are far superior to crickets in each and every way, no smell and no chirping lol. I use water crystals with added calcium which aren't messy lol and feed them indoor cat chow, "dust" from my rat lab block and supplement with fruits and veggies. I use an UTH and have 3/4 of the metal screen lid covered with plastic for added humidity and to help keep heat in. I use egg crate and paper towel tubes for more surface area and places for them to live, breed etc..
