I have a large plastic bin with a screen cutout for ventilation to store my Dubias. I plan to keep them in the garage but was wondering what the lowest temperature they can tolerate is. I don't want to breed them, just keep them alive. Does anyone keep their Dubia outside in the summer or is best to keep them out the elements? Thanks
I would keep them inside unless your garage stays relatively warm. I wouldn't let them get below 60 or so. Ideally they are kept at room temperature or warmer. If you want them to breed more quickly you'll want to add an overhead CHE or some heat tape/heat pad to get their temps into the 90s in part of the enclosure. They thrive under warm/hot conditions but from what I've seen they stay pretty healthy at room temps in the high 60s and low 70s without any interference.
