== Taxomony == '''Order:''' <br /> '''Family:''' <br /> '''Genus:''' <br /> '''Species:''' == Introduction == Please contribute to this section. == Difficulty == Please contribute to this section. == Basic Info == === Size === Please contribute to this section. === Lifespan === 1 to 3 years === Handling === Please contribute to this section. == Housing == I use a 69 quart plastic sterlite tub. I cut part of the lid out and fasten metal screening to it using liquid nail or hot glue, for ventilation. I put a 2 inch strip of bug stop, vaseline, or olive oil around the top of the bin. Replace every 1 to 3 months or when it dries up. I places egg cartons in there for hiding. Make sure there is enough hiding ares so males won't be too territorial. === Substrate === None needed. I put a layer of alfalfa pellets along the bottom in case some don't get to eat much. === Temperature === 80 to 90 F. They higher the temp the faster they breed and the quicker they grow. === Humidity === Around 50%, to achieve this mist the mist of the enclosure about 2 to 3 times a week. === Lighting === Please contribute to this section. == Feeding == === Diet === I feed them commercial roach and cricket feed. I also add some fresh greens 3 times a week. Greens would include collard and mustard. I also offer them dog food. === Supplements === Please contribute to this section. === Hydration === I give them water gel, so the water doesn't spoil. == Advanced == === Sexing === Please contribute to this section. == Conclusion == Roaches are better than crickets. Cause they breed faster, don't smell and live longer. == References == === Websites === Please contribute to this section. === Books === Please contribute to this section. == Author == This article was originally written by [http://www.thereptilefile.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=242 stone].
