Proper Dubia humidity levels

I have been looking on random places on the internet, Most sites are saying 30-40% humidity is proper. But i have also seen on several but not tons that they are recommending near 60%. Can Anyone help me out? Would be much appreciated. Mine are running 34-39% depending which side i test, The high test is above my water crystals.

 
i have gradient temps and humidity in my large bin. highest temp is 100-105 F and highest humidity is 80 percent lowest temp is about 70 F and lowest humidity is about 40 percent. my roaches love it that way and i have noticed lots of breeding activity with that.

 
I am going to do another test later. I need fresh water crystals and fresh orange slices to really peak my humidity output. I don't know why i forgot that on my 1st test. Ill keep ya informed lol.

 
Mines staying a pretty steady 33-34%humidity. The temperatures seems decent they are very active, Its ranging from 84-86 hot side/ 76-79degrees on the cooler side. But the room i have them its a sealed insulated room i keep at around 75-79degrees and its steady humidity is around 33%. As long as i don't have molting problems and keep plenty of crystals should i be ok?

 
if the males dont have messed up wings you should be fine. does this room that you have them in have vents or something to get the air circulating? stale air isnt the best for them.

 
Its setup with 3 intake vents and 2 exhaust vents. I had them all sealed with a ceramic heat emitter heating the room up, have a small carbon filter hooked up too a booster fan too circulate the heat at the top of the room. I guess i will open 1 intake and 1 exhaust and see how much it effects my heat.

 
i think you should experiment a little with the air vents. i know that some people have tubs with cut out lids and they are fine but given the chance i would use the air flow. any pictures of the setup?

 
The humidity in an enclosure should be around 60 percent. If you see roaches dieing when they are molting, then you need to raise the humidity. I keep the temp between 85-95 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temps are too low, the roaches will not breed as fast.

 
I just made a homemade humidifier out of a 1 gallon bottle and a fish tank air pump. I ran the line into my breeder box and the humidity is around 55-62% now with 85-90 degrees temp. All of it is on a timer now 12 hours on 12 off. The humidifier is doing a good job doing a slow air breeze and not a full out mist, doesn't seem too be getting anything actually wet.
