Meal worm warming

[Leopardbreeder]

What is the best way to heat glad-ware containers that contain mealworms that will (at some point) be bred? If someone could point me in the direction of an incubator. Thanks

Isn't room temperature the correct temp?

I put mine in my racks, it's always good and warm and they turn faster.

I have been getting the pupae (white weird looking things) in my mealworm dish in the tank. Can I take these out and put them somwhere to turn into beetles? If they aren't moving are they dead? Do I toss them at that point?

Thanks! I hope I didn't steal the thread...

i just feed those pupae to my geckos, they seem to love them but then im not trying to breed them as i dont know how hehe, so if your trying to breed them....dont do that....obviously

Thanks monkeygirl, but mine don't eat them! So maybe I'll try to grow my own mealworms instead of throwing out the pupae!

Put them in a plastic shoe box with bedding and keep them in a warm place. They will turn into beetles in a few weeks.
