[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 277536, member: 1492"] What were you temps before the heating pad? Depending on your room temperature they may not need it, but they will hatch and grow quicker with the added heat. I personally never used a heating pad for mine since I managed to overproduce as was. For simplicity reasons I preferred keeping everything in one bin so I never hatched out the eggs elsewhere. Your set up sounds great, so I would suspect you will be overflowing in no time. Waiting for the first nymphs to start popping can be the hardest part. To help ensure a steady production when you start your colony it helps to start with adults and nymphs since then generally by the time your initial adults start to conk the nymphs you got with them will already be adults. Even without trying though in a couple generations you should get a nice constant flow of all sizes for freshly hatched nymphs to adults. [/QUOTE]
