I'm trying to stress my individual super worms to get them to pupate.I read that they curl up in the shape of a C .My room is room temperature.Is that warm enough to get them to pupate ?

I get mine to pupate at room temp... 70-75', around there. They do have to be in individual containers without food (I use the tackle boxes). Mine have been taking close to 2 weeks to pupate and then another 2 to morph to beetle. The whole cycle has been running a month, almost to the day.
