Mine are in with my iredalei at the moment who likes it wet and warm. But they have been in drier colder, drier warmer and wetter colder conditions and have been fine. Mine seem to be quite versatile lol.
I can't remember the temps from the other conditions but in with the iredalei with the lights on in winter and now in warmer weather without them they're at 24-28 in the day and down to about 22 at night. It really varies on how warm it is outside now, but I'd say it averages about 26c in the day.

With food they get the same as everyone else. Orange, pear, apple, grape, mango, sometimes kiwi. Lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, courgette, carrot, tomato (they don't seem to like tomato much though) and sometimes mushrooms. Then there's snail mix, hemp, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and pine nuts.

Think that's all lol. I do have chicken mash too but no ones tried it yet lol I keep forgetting
