-i have about 20 dubia roaches (mostly female) in a 10 gallon
-im using a sort of eco earth as substrate (about an inch)
-2 egg crates and a dish with fresh oranges and water crystals
-------
how long do you think until i have babies? is there anything that i should change??
i keep the humidity very high and its probably always 75-85 degrees in there

will they start breeding immediately?

Yes they will, and your set up is just like mine, its all they need. Feed them fruits/ veggies and you don't need to provide water, but it doesn't hurt and they seem to appreciate it. I use dry high protein ground dog food. In a few months you'll see females running around with ooths sticking out :)
