Reddit mentions of Sunbeam Heating Pad for Pain Relief | Standard Size UltraHeat, 3 Heat Settings with Moist Heat| Light Blue, 12-Inch x 15-Inch

Not specifically, I use this, and will usually lay down with it on a pillow while I watch TV or something.... The cold compress doesn't work as well for me.

I’m the real OP. [Here’s a link to the exact one I ordered on Amazon that’s pictured!](Sunbeam 731-500 Heating Pad with Ultra Heat Technology https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00075M1T6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf)

It's really all pretty simple. Keep them in a opaque rubbermaid tub. Cut a hole in the lid and hot glue a piece of screening to prevent escapes. You don't need any substrate - the roach frass will quickly accumulate and make a nice substrate. The nymphs actually tend to eat the frass, so you don't want to disturb or clean it too often. For heat, get a human heating pad. I use this one. Works like a charm. Put it under the tub on one side. Then you just need egg flats for them to hide/live in. You can order them online for cheap, or see if any restaurants have extras/left overs they are willing to give you. I got 70 flats for about $10. As for food, my opinion is that laying chicken feed is the best option. You can always throw in extra/old veggies and fruit as well - just don't give them anything that might be toxic to your reptiles. They do LOVE oranges though, and it puts them into sexual hyperdrive. For water, you can use water crystals. These absorb water, so there is no pool of water for the roaches to drown in.

My only other advice - let the colony do its thing for 4-6 months before you start regularly feeding out of it. They take that long to reach maturity, and if you fed out of the colony before then, it may collapse or not reach stable population of multiple sized roaches.

I use a $15 back warming pad (for treating back pain). Wrap your container with the pad, then with an outer blanket or cloth to keep the heat in. Before you try ferments, fill your container with just water and place a thermometer in for a few hours, then pick from the 3 settings (low/medium/high) that best suit the temperature you want.https://www.amazon.com/Sunbeam-UltraHeat-Technology-Heat-Settings-Washable/dp/B00075M1T6/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=back+warming+pad&qid=1571076268&sr=8-13

More advanced method (and an additional $15):Wire up an STC-1000 to precisely control the temperature (you can set any temp and it will turn any device you plug into it on or off to reach desired tempurature)https://www.amazon.com/KETOTEK-STC-1000-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat/dp/B073QQ2VP2/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=stc1000&qid=1571076448&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWDRISFZCT1JaNENFJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODE4MjMxRUVCU1JCUUdOUUxFJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwODM5MDYyOERaTUVRVUFBS1hFJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Got a cheap one off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00075M1T6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

It's also water resistant, which is nice for kitchen use.

I have this one or something very similar. I put it under my hamstrings/glutes or lower back or lay on my stomach with my quads (but not penis) on top of it. It helps relieve the tightness after a workout and helps the muscles relax... at least that's what it does for me. Your mileage may vary.

I started my colony with some dubias I bought off Craigslist for $5.

For breeding, I used the advice on this page. I feed high-calcium chicken feed, which can be gotten for very reasonable prices when you buy in bulk at your local farm store. I use this heating pad (I need the larger one because I have two bins). It appears this smaller one is the same only smaller (same as far as not having an auto shut off "feature").

this works awesome, doesn't shut off on its own, is more powerful than any carboy heater I've seen and if you have a sore back and not fermenting it can help ya out

I've got mine hooked up to the heat side of the temp controller on my fermentation freezer and leave the heating pad set to medium

I have this one

The quality is meh but it is quite cheap. It is big though so it might not be good for your face.

I don't have any experience with it, but something like this might be better

I've had really good results with just a regular heating pad. I keep it under half of the bottom so the other side is more cool, and they can self regulate how warm they want to be


And I feed mine anything. Oranges are a really good food, I give mine any fruit scraps I may have. They also like regular granulated sugar, protein powder, and recently they've shown they like grape jelly on white bread

This is the one I use. You can use any one really, just make sure that it does NOT have the auto shut-off feature. A lot of them do, so you have to be careful when buying. Push button ones usually have auto shut-off and dial or slider switch ones usually don't.

and you just let it sit? thats good news for me. i started off thinking you needed to heat it to decarb it, but that's not true. as i thought more about the commercial stuff, i thought they didnt heat it past 140F. i tried heating to 120F for 2 hours and it didnt really mix. i'm glad to hear that at a low temperature, over a long period, it does mix.

how did you keep it at 90F for that long? it would be really sweet if we came up with a method like

• place the shatter and PEG-400 into a silicone BHO container and set that in an electric blanket set on low for 24 hours. that would be a great stealth way to get it to mix. but i know those bho containers are not odor proof. so i guess we'd also have to bag it a few times or put in one mason jar at least to try and capture all the odor.
  
  man, i really want to get an electric blanket and a temp probe that records. hook it up for a few days and see what temp it sits at.
  
  edito: this might be all we need http://smile.amazon.com/Sunbeam-731-500-Heating-UltraHeat-Technology/dp/B00075M1T6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408754388&sr=8-2&keywords=heating+pad
  
  side thought here, i think you could do the following:
  
  
• take bubblehash and dissolve it into PEG-400
  
• put solution through syringe filter to remove the solids
  
  actually, you could just do that just starting off with regular weed. only thing though is you might want to a rough filtering before the syringe filtering. you wouldn't need to do winterizing. those extra plant waxes wont be optimal, but i think it would just make your final concoction just a little less potent.

Other idea is to fill a sock with rice and microwave.


But really, invest in one of these before shark week strikes again. Practically saved my life in high school before I got on birth control and could have a manageable period.
