I recently got a colony of 50 hissers to start breeding. I have them in a 15 gal. container. Temps are about 80 degrees, and I'm working on getting my humidity up (I'm using a container of ecoEarth for this). I can't find egg flats locally, so I'm using drink carriers from fast food resturants. If anyone else is doing this, I'd like to see an example. Any other suggestion would be appreciated as well.

I don't worry about humidity. My tanks are just the egg flats/ drink holders/ similar material, layered as high as I can without freeing the roaches. Screen top, just in case and every day I resoak the water dish with the green scrunge pad, fill the food dish and toss in a leaf of greens. I would bring up your temps even more. Roaches seem to like it as hot as 120. I put an unregulated heat pad under them and they are happy clams.

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.

Thanks for the info. Got the temps up around 90 now. Like your signature. I'm currently working on a degree in programming
