Roach Enclosure w screen top (18 – 20 Gal.) {Available for pickup only} $30.00
House your roach colony in this 18 gallon Rubbermaid tote. The top has been cut out and metal screening has been attached. A well ventilated enclosure will promote a healthy breeding environment. This enclosure does not come with a heater.
|
The end of your tote should be flat so you get a good transfer of heat from your heat source. The heat source needs to be placed on the end so there is a temperature gradient. If you place it on the side or the bottom you may cook your roaches.
![]() Your egg flats should be hot glued together in sections of (2) and stacked vertically filling your enclosure except for enough room for food and the water crystals on the cool (non-heated) side.
|
Your top should have a small screened hole and a larger screened hole. The small hole should be positioned over the heated end. This blocks the light and traps the heat so your roaches breed the best. The large hole should be placed over the cool end. Convection from the temperature gradient circulates the air without cooling down the hot end too much, A single screened hole allows the heat to rise without circulating the air so you will have a stale, cool enclosure.
