Setting up silkworms

[NYDragon]

I'm getting 100 silkworms in the next day or so. What size container should I put them in so they aren't overcrowded? Also, I've heard to not clean the frass/poo out and I've heard you have to clean the poo out? Any idea which is right? I'm thinking leaving it would be easier since the more you handle the silks the more likely they die. Also, is a 75 degree temp ok for medium/large worms or do I need to provide heat for them? Sorry for all the question but I just don't want to kill them all. They are quite pricey and my beardie loves them Thanks!

For the frass, clean it out if it becomes moldy as mold kills silkworms.
