dubia temps

[Countryside Chams]

so i got my dubias today, and the only problem is i dont have my heat pad yet for them. i am going to get one tomorrow, but i was wondering if they would be alright if the temp gets down to 50 tonight because the wife wont let them inside. i am going to have to keep them in the garage and it will probably be 55 in there. if not i might have to sneak them in ; )

That's pretty cold for Dubia. Sneak em in lol.

What do you have them in?

If you can rig a light to it you might want to put a 60-75 watt bulb on them for the night. If not maybe shine a flood lamp unto the outside of the box. 50-55 might stunt them. I doubt it would be enough to kill them but I don't know how it would affect egg and young development.

Good luck,
Kevin

thanks guys i think i am going to take bigguns advice and put a droplight in there with them.

dubia hates light. Maybe get the heat mat or one of those heat lamp that does not emit light.

i am going to get a heat pad today, i just needed something to get them thriugh the night, so i put the light in there to keep the temp up, and it seemed to work pretty well.
