heating dubia colony

[reptilover]

So i got my starter colony... very creepy.. but my fiance is spastic about fire hazards. So wats the safest most efficent way to heat a rubbermaid tub?

I jsut use one of the reptile heating pads set on low.

Adjustable heat pad eh? Where do I find his? do u put it on the side? bottom? Inside? Thanks I was reluctant to post yet another dubia thread as they seem to be popular right now.. but rreally wanted input on this particular subject : so thanks!

If it's fairly warm in Washington right now, you could place them in the garage. Or cut a whole in the lid, screen it and use a red light on top to keep 'em warm. Not a white light, they like the darkness.

Thank u sir giver if my dubias Washington is of proper temps 2 months out of the year maximum... This is not that month lol.. i was gonna shy away from lights for my fiance belives I have enough lights to burn down the amazon let alone our house.
I like the hest pad idea just where to put it i guess is Wats left

On a side note.. when my population reaches a good point can i take a way hest to slow breeding? Whats the lowest temp range they can they live happily?

I put my pad under the bin.

and i got it from jonrich, but i think you can buy them at petsmart.

Room temps would probably slow them down considerably. It'll be awhile before you cross that bridge! Yes, stick the pad underneath the bin on one side, where the egg crates are. Leave the food side unheated. This works best for me.

*edit Good thing I'm not a car salesman! You would have left the lot not knowing how to drive and operate the car!
*edit edit You're making me look bad, Smalls!

I use heat tape with a light dimmer. An adjustable heat pad would be good too.

I put mine on top of the many cable boxes I have in the house. Heats them up quite well and I don't have to spend any extra on electricity. If you use Verizon, their cable boxes work wonders.
