Hi all.
Looking to set up a Locust breeding tank soon.
What do you guys use? A glass aquarium? Really useful box? Other box?
I know ventillation is a biggie. Would love to see some setup photos!
Many Thanks

Scott, Looking for it now.
I set up a RUB (large one) with straw substrate, laying pots, egg cartons and a bowl for food.
Of the load I put in there about 3/4 died off, do you think that could be as I dont have a heatmat under the box? They are in my reptile room which is warm and have a desklamp at one end (outside the box)
Think I should put a heatmat under one end?
Many Thanks
