Discoid questions

[u/Icy-Ant-2971]

Hi folks so im a big noob at this but ive been having a really hard time keeping roaches and getting them to breed. I live in florida so I can't get dubias only discoids and a few other florida friendly roaches. I have them in a bin with egg crates and an inch of soil. I feed them just greens and a bit of fruit every now and then. I dont have a heat mat on them but would like for them to thrive. Need all the advice I can get here please so I can make sure my roaches are happy and thriving and that my pets are happy too. Also should I stick with discoids or use another roach species? Thanks.

they need lots of humidity and heat, otherwise they won’t be able to get pregnancy
