Where do you store your phoenix worms?

[elisabaker]

I'm going to order some phoenix worms since Tang is being picky and doesnt want his supers anymore. He has some horns but I want to give him variety. Anyways I emailed phoenixworm.com and they said they will last the longest if kept at 50 degrees. I'm pretty sure the fridge is colder than that so where would the best place be to store them? I'm trying to figure out where its coolest in the house. Any ideas?

Ha, does it get down to 50 in your part of Florida?? Do you have a basement or something that stays cool?

I keep them on the kitchen counter.

I'm in Panama City near the gulf so it does get that cold during the winter but its in the morning or night. It gets warm during the day. I guess I could put them outside in a safe place at night when its cold then bring them back in before it gets hot in the daytime. Otherwise i guess they will still live for a few weeks at room temp around 75 right?

We don't have basements here because of flood issues.

I keep mine in the back room, which isn't heated but is well insulated. Mine last for weeks back there, and it's definitely higher than 50, so you'll probably be alright.

well i keep mine in my room, by FC's enclosure and it stayed between 70-75 in there and they last about amonth or longer. so i think you will be fine.

Yup, I keep mine at room temperature, and they are eaten before I have seen any issues (a month or so)...
If you have a wine refrigerator, that's about perfect, but not necessary.
