I don't think you need the containers or the room to be moist. Mine are morphing just fine in dry, empty containers. Room humidity is below 30%.

hey man well what you have to do is separate each one and wait until they form into a beetles then but them into a enclosure.

Yes they curl into a letter c shape prior to pupating.

If they are dead they turn totally black and smell.

Dead wet crickets would give a worm smell a run for the money!

Go to my blog page. You will see directions for raising worms. I do it all the time. Patience is the name of the game, however I now have a bin just full of little worms about 1 1/2" long. Parents last for 3 months so you need to be putting worms into a crysalis container on a regular basis.

I only have about one to two inches of substrate. I dont suppose more would hurt though.

Boca is right - patience
