How to Care for Mealworms in the Florida Heat

[Conrad Lucas]

If you live in Florida, you might have to make some adjustments to keep your mealworms healthy in the heat and humidity. Mealworms naturally like a warm, humid climate, especially to stimulate reproduction. Ideally, you want the temperature of your habitat to be between 75 and 85°F, with a humidity between 50 and 60%. This isn’t necessarily hard to achieve in Florida, but it can be hard to control. The first thing you should invest in is a thermometer/hygrometer to put inside your insects’ habitat. You should also be careful about the kind of substrates you use. Coco coir is notoriously moist, so stay away from it. For more tips, check out our full article here.
