Red runners tend to get a better feed response from T’s because they’re in constant movement. Dubias dig and play dead to great effect. They’re also slower,  make great feeders for less agile critters like a bearded dragon. Both love heat. My pics won’t do you much good because I can get away just leaving them setup in my garage with no extra heat sources—sunny socal. Have used heat pads in the past but found they keep on keeping on without so I ditched ‘em.[ATTACH=full]64913[/ATTACH]I keep spare tubs handy and just swap them out occasionally as their cleaning maintenance. Easy peezy. Inside is egg cartons on bare plastic. Others like to use bedding for the roaches to dig but I find that unnecessary and just more to clean. Was going to post more pics, but noticed you had viewed other threads that basically mirrored what mine looks like inside, and well honestly, my tub is due a cleaning so my roaches aren’t instagram picture ready. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />The clown has some good shots in his massive envy thread, fresher veggies too—if you can find it. Oursapoil—forgive if I mess that up—is another good reference.</blockquote>
