i just started my dubia colony about 3 weeks ago.. what i did for the heating was i put a small heater in front of their enclosure (rubbermaid tub) and it worked, i started seeing a bunch of nymphs..but here's the problem, i live in an apartment and my inverts and roaches are in my room so it gets pretty hot in my room with that heater on, even if i leave the window open..so im thinking of using a heat mat instead..i always see posts about how people would use heat mats from walgreens, walmart, etc. so i went to walmart today and i asked if they had any heat mats and they were all around $25-$30, from what i've read it should be cheaper than that? i cant use the zoomed ones since they cant be used on plastic..i've also read about the heat tapes? but some people say that it melts plastic too and that you would have to buy a thermostat for it..what do you guys use for your dubias? a specific brand name and where i can get it from would also help a lot..thanks!
