[Carl75]

I'm form Hertfordshire UK. I have an omni nest vertical. All I need now is to catch/get a queen to start my first colony.

Hi im fairly new To antkeeping myself i have a Large Omni verticle with afew outworlds all set up and ready to go, i am just waiting on my queens larvae to pupate i have her in a testtube set up that is wrapped in red Acetate plastic that way i can view her without stressing her out :b its rather interesting watching her clean/move her eggs, larvae and pupae

[Carl75]

I'm going to get some red acetate to cover my nest and test tube setups. I had originally planned on decorating my out world with a fine sand layer a few fake plants, small twigs etc, but I'm not sure if I will now or keep the out world I decorated.

Hope your colony grows well.

you should do a journal on your setup/build. good luck man.

My omni nest vertical large is setup ready. It is up decorated at the moment. How do people stop test tubes of water from moving in their outworlds.?
