Ok i just got the temp down to 15c ill bring her out 5th jan hopefully have all the shed plastered and redone by then

jartok: Re: Messor barbarus req (6. Nov 2008 20:46)

whats the bottom temp they can survive i could put her in my shed thats hanging around 9c at moment and heat mat set to 16 if gets to cold - just concerned bout noise in my room with tv n pc and what not - shed needs go lower as my other northern ants in so will deff need to bring heat up with heat mat all time if i put her in

9c° is no problem. If it get to 0 you could heat it up till 10.
If you put her in hibernation now maybe 5th of January is a bit to soon to wake her up, it would be better if you keep her in until end of January.
