Depending on how many roaches you have it would be no issue to feed that many every day and still not have it be your only food. I have 5-6 of the 18 gallon totes for the roaches so they can eat a decent amount at times. Halloween was nice when a friend donated me all their pumpkins afterwards haha

Why do you say not the rind?

I have fed my roaches lemons without any issue that I have noticed. I don't use nearly the number of lemons you do, but will throw them in when I do use them. They are in addition to their normal food and whatever other greens are added in.

Do you have any pictures of what the soil looks like on the floor when you have it all planted? Does the moss break down quickly and do you replace it or just leave it?

I'm guessing he is referring to sugar ants? Maybe he can confirm

I purchased one of the medium tall breeder series with the laybox tray for below. The quality is excellent. Their customer service is fantastic as well. A part was broken on arrival (likely from in shipping) and was mostly cosmetic, maybe somewhat structural. I mentioned it to them and they were...

The males actually use the wings a lot for mating. When the male is looking for a female they raise them up perpendicular to their body to flag the female who then walks up to the male to attach.

They definitely can 'fly.' I don't think I've seen them ever really get much lift though, they can kind of maintain the height they are at.

No cleaning feces for you? That's excellent if so. For the fans, most that were being used when I was looking were something like a CPU fan. Gives a little bit of movement, which kept the glass clean, and could be hid in some PVC piping so it is camouflaged in. Wasn't really planning on doing a...

Oh definitely. The only way to get it lower is to do it on the bottom. That gets in the way of shelving though, unless you make that custom for it as well. So you go the route you did, and it still works. The thing I learned from the poison dart frogs is creating a full system which seems to...

I don't have it for the chameleons, though if you go to http://www.dendroboard.com/ for the dart frogs there are a lot of fully planted setups like that. If you have an issue with standing water too much, you could always flush into the drain and let it come back out for occasional servicing. As...

My understanding was that superworms and giant mealworms were different? I've seen places selling both I thought.

I have been breeding roaches, and selling some, for the past 3 years? or so. While I have a lot more then you'd need or want, you can breed some for just your personal use with a single 18gallon sterilite tub or so. Since you'd be feeding and breeding out of the same tub, it wouldn't be as...

This is how I've seen most people do it for the dart frogs, which is an area that does a lot of natural vivariums. Doing it on the side allows you to place the cage on a flat, unaltered surface. An easy way to do it is use hydroton on the bottom for space. Then a layer of weed guard that will...

If I am not mistaken, most have a tempered bottom and the sides are not tempered. In the large aquariums, some are fully tempered. It's been a while since reading into it, so I could be mistaken, but remember looking a bit when I was looking into poison dart frogs.

That may be for 2 views so they can determine what they are looking at better. Typically you'll want to get a lateral and VD view as each image is 2D image and the 2 enable you to better determine what you are looking at.

These type of setups are more common with the poison dart frog community and a lot of them will stock them with 2 or 3 bugs for the soil (1 or more species of isopods, springtails, etc) thus creating an environment that is self cleaning. Not sure if that is what he has done here.

The Dragon Strand products do cost a little bit, however the quality is excellent and the customer service is even better. I found them before coming to this forum and couldn't be more happy with their setup.

The CHE's (Ceramic heat emitters) can be used at night if needed.
