Ben0918 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Should heat be on roaches 24/7 or should it be shut off at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I don't keep the heat on at night for them because in the wild there are nightly drops in temperature. It really depends on the species though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I keep my heat on 24/7. Ceramic on the dubias and an infrared on my hissers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blattodea313 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 If the heat were off what would the temperature be (your room temperature)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy1892 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Lobster roaches and Turkistan roaches are tough. I do not know about Dubia though. The Turkistan Roaches do alright below freezing but might need to get used to cold weather for a while before going much lower than that. Lobster Roaches might not be able to go through a few months of 32 degrees but they can do fine at room temp, they just do not breed. If you want those three kinds of roaches to breed you need to keep them warmer than 68 degrees. My Turkistan Roaches still grow and breed at 68 degrees.
