IMHO this thermometer is a must have. I am often surprised to see how hot my bin is getting. I then take measures to cool it down before any harm comes to my little wormies. I wouldn't know when corrective action is needed if I didn't have the thermometer.

Temperature safety guidelines
Worms are sensitive to heat and cold during transit. This reference shows how outside temperatures affect shipment safety — keep in mind that packages inside delivery vehicles can run 20–30°F hotter than the outside air.
Excellent
40–80°F
Ideal shipping conditions. Your worms will travel comfortably.
Good
80–85°F
Generally safe. Be ready to bring your package inside right away.
Use caution
85–90°F
Some risk. Worms need a quick delivery and someone home to receive them.
High risk
90–95°F
Truck interiors can reach 120°F. We recommend waiting for cooler temperatures.
Do not ship
Above 95°F
Extremely high risk. Please delay your order — reach out to Samantha to plan ahead.
Cold weather
Below 30°F
Freezing temperatures are dangerous for live worms. Please wait for warmer weather.
Helpful shipping tips
A little preparation goes a long way. Follow these tips to make sure your worms arrive healthy and ready to work.
We ship every Monday so your worms won't sit in a warehouse over the weekend
Track your package daily once it has shipped — you'll know exactly when to expect it
Bring your package inside immediately upon delivery — even a few minutes in the sun matters
Never leave worms in a mailbox or on a sunny porch — heat builds up fast in enclosed spaces
Keep worms out of direct sunlight after delivery and store them in a cool, shaded spot
