The setup I described in my long response works for me. I see new babies, and don't have dead roaches.

Mid eighties to high 90's with a undertank heater covering half or 3/4 even.

Feed them fruits and veggies, they really like the oranges and dandelion greens.
Don't feed them pet food, they will be fine, but gutloaded with junk that your reptile will eat, and they will smell a bit.

Take out old food, don't keep it too humid. I spray the sides of my tank and let it drip down a few times a week. No substrate, and smooth edged 90 degree angles you won't have any escapes. I did see some nymphs climbing when i had a smaller rubbermaid tubs with a slight angle, but still no escapes.

Stack egg crates in there for hide spots and if you add springtails they will act as a clean up crew.
