Can anyone give me any specific direction to create a roach bin without using heat tape. Dont like rubbertubs and heat tape unless professionaly done

There are lots of ways to build roach bin. The first is the rubbermaid. Cut most of the lid out and add in screen. It can sit on top of a heated reptile cage, heat pad, flex-watt, heat rope, etc.., but you should have it on a dimmer switch. If you don't use a heater then if the room you keep them in is 70's or hotter they will breed, but just not as fast. I've also seen people use 5 gallon buckets or glass cages. You can use red lights or ceramic heaters for your heat source. Pretty much keep them warm and fed and you'll be set.
