mealworm colony questions

[sunshinegeckos]

I am thinking of starting my own mealworm colony but I hear you have to keep them in a dry place. I live in Florida where it is humid 95% of the year lol Has anyone else in Florida been successful in keeping a mealworm colony? If so suggestions on how?

They do fine if you keep them in open containers.

We're in Florida, and breeding a lot of worms. Worm Company is also in Florida, so definitely not a problem. It shouldn't be 95% humidity if you're breeding them inside, probably only 60% if the AC is running. You don't want to keep them outside, because the humidity will attract mites.

Not just mites, but my first attempt on breeding them outside attracted ants............
