Elexra Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hi! I have a bin of about 1000 dubias and I wondered how one controls humidity. I use a heat lamp on a timer to ensure proper heat but I know that humidity is important for molting. I mist the inside egg crates a couple times a day but am wondering if this is enough. I would love to hear how people handle this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipi Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 In my T room the temperature is aprox. 91 F. but who knows what high in the dubia enclosure. I use coconut fiber substrate and I am spraying twice in a day [keeping the substrate moist]. They eat very well and now I cannot find any molting problem. I used to kept them without substrate with an egg carton. They do not had a good appetite then. But now they are always eating everything and hanging around on the surface and on the bark. What I can say is spraying as many as you can. But if it's not necessary do not heat them with that lamp. It's summer time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblooddragonz Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I use just egg cartons no substrate it only makes it harder to clean. From the looks of it you are breeding to provide as feeders so don't use any substrate and put a bowl of water crystals in the tub, the water crystals should give off enough humidity for your roaches.
