That sounds good. Personally, I use a heat mat for 1-3 gallon tanks with out a thermostat. It seems to be working well so far. although I have has some issues with roach breeding and haven't seen any new nymphs.

Re: Dubia Roach Heating
A heating pad is a much more effective way of heating them. Use one designed for reptile use, such as those offered by Reptile Basics. Heating pads intended for humans ARE a possible fire hazard. You will need a thermostat for the heating pad. If you are still concerned about a fire hazard, add a GFI cable. This will shut off the power in the unlikely event that the pad develops even a tiny short.
One final comment about odor: while dubias are indeed odorless, their waste is not, especially in the presence of moisture. You will want to clean the bin on a regular basis.

I keep our dubias in a large closed but ventilated deli cup under a low watt heat lamp, in with our vinegaroon.
