Wax worms

[lilsmuz]

How do you guys keep you wax worms? In the fridge or out? I've noticed that stores do it both ways and was wondering which way is best to keep them squirming the longest.

I have found that my fridge is a bit too cold for them. Once in a while, if I leave them in there a long time and they get shoved to the back, they freeze up and die. I usually keep them down in the basement, it is dark and pretty cold down there but no where near freezing. Seem to hold up down there alot better.

crawlspace seems to be the best temperature for me

If you are looking to keep them for a long time, throw a little bit of oatmeal or cornmeal in there, incase they get the munchies.
