My colony is doing horrible, thanks for asking. Haha, no seriously though... I'm going to clean out the dead roaches tomorrow, since I'm only cleaning out dead once a week now. Trying to reduce stress like Monster advised. I'm keeping plenty of food in there, temps at the bottom are 95-105. I've been trying to keep the humidity up by spraying the sides occasionally (Still have a water bottle in there, your little tip), and water gel crystals. Man I just don't get it; I think the guy that supplied me with these adults gave me 'old' ones.

I bought some heat tape on bigappleherp to get additional heat in there, it barely raised. I'm gonna' try plugging it straight into the wall instead of a rheostat to get maximum temperature. It would probably be a good idea to do that insulation method that you did to revamp your setup. It's just starting to piss me off, this investment is going in the trash. Although, with all the negative stuff I have been saying - I always do see babies on top of the water gel crystals. They must be breeding a little at least.

It just sucks, I don't have a job and I don't have that much money to resupply if things get worse.
