Ozymandias Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Blaptica dubia bin my bucket enclosures not roaches but i keep a colony of isopods (rolly pollies, pillbug, ect) going at all time in case i need them as a clean up crew in one of my naturalistic tanks.

Vulgaris Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Those are all very nice looking! I am pretty excited to get to set up a larger enclosure for my growing colony of Parcoblatta. I want it to be naturalistic, with at least an inch or two of soil, dead leaves, and logs. Yours look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 thanks there has been a little reorganizing in some of my feeder bins to make it so i can get to the roaches easier for my reptiles so will post pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 ok so as promised her are some pictures of the new set ups. basically i was sick and tired of the rack system i had built mainly because it was made of cardboard and the egg crates would catch on it when i tried to remove it. so i replaced that by gluing a piece of cardboard on to one side of the egg crates and stacking it which is much easier to deal with. i also stopped using water crystal because i kept getting maggots under the containers, now they get all there moisture need from fruit or veggies. also here at some shot of some of the other enclosures i have that are more naturalistic looking. all of these are actually for roaches i just got today from Zephyr. Giant Lobster Roach "Henschoutedenia flexivitta" Flat-Horn Hissers "Aeluroda insignis" Ember Roachs "Pycnoscelus striatus" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 well started cleaning out and rearranging my room and first to move was may roaches lol. the nice thing about this set up is that i can run some heat tape under all the tanks and plug it in to the thermostat for my leo babies that are above the roaches.

KitKatie329 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Very nice! I wish I had the space to do a rack in my room, but I just don't. Well, not in a size that would make me happy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 lol i understand that, the only reason this happened it because i'm slowly getting rid of most of the junk i've accumulated over the last couple year other wise no space at all.

KitKatie329 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Haha, that's exactly what I did to get all of my bins in my closet! I like having less stuff and more roaches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
