Hello Anna!
Maybe the higher surviving rate by cooler temperature is because they starve slowier to death.... But hot temperatures (25°C) seem to be deadly.
I bought my ones on insect and reptile exchanges.
Our dealers (Germany) have them almost in spring and no ones in autumn. I am on search for them too, because my madagascian-ones are all female.
I am far away from breeding them, today I am lucky when they survive but perhaps someone find the missing point how to keep them.
When you find some please report your efforts.
Good luck!
Thomas
