My red worms died from excessive heat

[flycaster]

I keep my worms in a OMAHA STEAK Styrofoam box in the garage. Here in Central Florida it is averaging 90+ degrees every day.
I put 8 quarts of peat moss in the box and feed the worms corn meal on the top of the moss. I placed newspaper on top and try to keep moist. I found that the worms want to crawl out of the moss whenever it gets excessively warm in the styrofoam box, so to counter act the heat I place a 12 ounce water bottle that has been frozen, on top of the newspaper. The coolness keeps the worms below the newspaper and the cold bottle sweats and helps keep the humidity in the box. No holes for ventilation as I check on the worms every day, and replace the frozen water bottle when it starts to get the least bit warm.

I keep mine in a thick walled styrofoam ice chest. Thats a great Idea about the frozen water bottle....I bet one of those blue ice packs would be good also.

I moved it because I thought it might get better/more help here on the Live Bait forum.

I move things randomly, I don't read all the posts, and when I want to move one, I do!

It's still in both places, it should not matter one iota!
