Temp range for B. dubia

[spartybassoon]

How hot of temperatures can B. dubia withstand? I just put a new reptile heat pad on my colony before going away for the weekend, and I don't want to fry them since i won't be able to check on them. The mat is kritters brand, about 8" x 8" or so...colony of around 150-200.

i leave a 12x12 on at all times unregulated on my large colny with no problems.(unless a ton of nymphs is a problem)

Thanks, Andy!

BTW, the MM Avic is still alive, although no longer studding..the ladies are plump and settling in, hopefully I'll have a sac or two soon!

I have an 11x11 that covers 3/4 of my bin, with egg flats stacked above it for heat gradient, the middle is 80, so 75-85 is my range and the roaches are doin great, tons of babies.
