So my large heater pad I bought used a couple weeks ago crapped out this morning. No visible damage at all, and didn't trip the surge protector, but does not build ANY heat. (tried different outlets, other heaters work in same socket, ETC)

So I was trying to think of ways to maintain heat until I can get a new heating pad, and was thinking i could use a humidifier that I have. Its designed for a large room. so In the current small room that they are in I'm sure the heat and humidity would build up pretty high. Only thing I'm worried about it the humidity will get REALLY high. probably 85% very easy.

I have read different things that dubia like a ton of humidity, or like the guy from the "roach ranch" says to keep it a 40-50%.

So do you think this will be alright?

what are some other ideas you can help me out with to keep them warm?


I have plenty of heat lamps and stuff, but would rather not use them due to the Lid's not really working for that, and I wouldn't want the physical light stressing them out.

Trying to keep there temps pretty high to increse breeding and growth rate, as of right now my pyxie and beardies are clearing out all the mid sized dubia. At this rate it will take atleast two to three months for my colonys to really take off


Thanks!
