vfox Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I have been uploading videos lately of my honey bees and thought to myself...why not do some videos on my cockroaches? I filmed a few with my phone so they are so-so quality but they are basically just me rambling about the bin, the roach, and general care for them. I cover lats, lobsters, hissers, americans, orange heads, and firefly mimics. I will be adding more later. I do ramble btw...fair warning. http://www.youtube.com/user/Vfox1983?feature=mhsn Have a look and let me know what you guys think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use heatlamps with red bulb lights to warm them. I have the bins on a utility rack and one light per level. Most of the time my house it cold, around 60F, so the tanks need it. They stay on average between 70-75F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it's only that one tag lol. I'm not about to pay for a p-touch machine, my 1970's label maker does just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfox Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 lol competently understand, so jealous of your Gyna lurida btw I got them from Orin a while ago, he has the yellow morph pretty well isolated. They don't do all that well for me so I am really hoping these guys finally breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, regards. I use coco fiber substrate in all of my bins. Not only does it hold te moisture a little better but it also keeps the smell down a bit. Roaches like Lats tend to have a bit of an odor, the substrate helps to reduce that by absorbing the odor and containing the frass fairly well.
