Heating Methods
I am keeping a total of 5 queens, out of which 1 has obtained a colony and the others are almost there. I read that ants are heat lovers and that heat speeds up the brood development, so I thought of heating up a little, but I have a problem. The problem is that I cant buy a heating cable, there are not sold in most of the local pet shops and I can't afford shipping from any other place, so I though of trying to make something at home. I keep my room as warm as possible, I have windows closed with the curtains opened when there is sun. the temperature usually goes from 25 to 19 C but i would love to raise it to somewhere of 27 so my ants have the opportunity to develop a little faster. So if anyone has any tips on how to make a room warmer I would love to know.

Re: Heating Methods
Tape up any vent area where the AC can come through with duck tape. And keep the door closed if you want.
