Can they take 3 or 4 C? I'd like to keep them in my cold, non-freezing attic for the winter.

Knowing the species distribution/localisation could be handy though: www.wilmap.com.au/weather.html

My two pygmies seem to do fine just left in the terrarium. The light is all natural and the area gets colder in the winter next to a big window.

I can't fit everybody in the kitchen and bedrooms. I don't have enough window sill space to go around.

I have been exclusively using window sills. I had my buckets-O-minibogs right by the SW window sill last winter, and all but two VFT's wintered over and came back for me in February / March. Getting electricity to extend there will be a chore.
