If they're genuine superworms and not kingworms or giant mealworms they going to pupate unless they are by themselves. Temperature has nothing to do with it. Matter of fact, you get them much under 70F they start dying off.
You keep them together, warm, with lots of food, and fruit or veggie slices on top for water content they will last a long, long time.
With the giant mealworms, everybody keeps 'em in the fridge to stop them from pupating, which is fine. You do that to superworms, they will all die in a few hours.
If you see any that are by themselves, curled up and motionless, but if you touch them they flip around, they are in the beginning stages of pupating. Dead ones straighten out, get soft and turn black.
