Description

Create the perfect hiding and breeding environment for your roach colony with this fully modular and stackable habitat system.

Each level is separated by spacers and secured using screws, allowing you to customize the internal height to suit different species, life stages, and colony sizes.

The design includes integrated ventilation slots in every platform to improve airflow while maintaining the dark and secure environment that roaches prefer.

Included Gap Sizes

The example setup shown in the photos uses four different spacer heights:

  • 5.5 mm – ideal for nymphs and small species
  • 10 mm – suitable for juveniles
  • 18 mm – suitable for adult roaches
  • 30 mm – extra-large space for large adults and breeding colonies

Because all modules are interchangeable, you can stack and arrange them in any order to create a custom habitat that matches your colony's needs.
