to get to a search page then type in dermistids or dermistid aquarium or something and you should get lots of responses, one post from a while back had a link to a nice museum page too. I know a couple of guys discussed it in depth on one post. Anything you could need. I am not sure who it was but one of them might have been taxidermologist or raven, so type in his name and dermistids.... actually use the term beetle colony, heck maybe i will do a quick search for ya....
here ya go www.taxidermy.net/forums/BeginnersArticles/04/g/045140A3EC.html
there is lots in there if you look but i found a long post that i was too lazy to read but had lots of stuff that would teach you more than you need to know even if it doesn't answer your question LOL
anyways good luck!

I kept some boids at one point in my life. If you hit some herp sites you may find your info. I did something similar to keep the snakes w/ the climate control your after. The range is similar and may help you along. A good lead would be kingsnake.com. There are some forums there as well. Good luck
