Try something like this. Shouldn't be too difficult to make, just use a couple of cheap breakfast bowls and downsize a drill bit with each bowl.

| Are you providing any form of direct heating for them or are they just in your reptile room where the ambient temperature from the vivs is keeping them happy ? |

They are doing fantastic still. I had a few in a box that I was going to disgard due to being too small and too few, anyway I forgot about it and came back to it a month or so later and it was packed with good sized red runners...been feeding my entire collection on that one box for over 3 weeks now and still don't think I have made a dent in it!
Not really bothered about selling them, too much hassle for the sake of a few £. I would sell some but it would have to be a min of £20's worth plus postage.

Scott, how many did you start off with to commence your colony? How long did it take to get to a self sustaining sized colony that could be depleted for feeding to herps? What do you feed them on? Do you use lobster roaches?
OK interrogation now over
