Hi I'm planing an upgrade of my outworld for my componotus ligniperdus and would love some tips and advises. plan is to build cube 20x20x20cm with ventilation in top cover and in build lake(water reservoir). I wanna build desert diorama from WW2 with some older models of tanks (1:72) and probably in...

Hello! I'm new to ant keeping and recently caught a Camponotus Pennsylvanians queen. I have her in a test tube set up and am trying to leave her alone. I have part of the test tube under a 7-watt heating mat that I'd typically use for my snakes, as I read an increase in heat can encourage laying. I...

8mm is inner diameter, of connecting tubes. After connecting new outworld and nest, they've moved immediately. The new nest is basically just a Chamber in a Ytong. They've 9 workers so far, it's their 2nd year. I've needed to move them from testube since feeding was really difficult, since they've f...

Moving queen and most workers is actually not a problem. But those workers that are outside are of my concern. They are pretty quick, and they...

Hi Does anyone have any experience with Ytong nests for Camponotus Ligniperda/Heraculus? I've read that majors of some species can chew through it, so not sure, if i want to have it without glass/plastic enclosure. I have a colony from last year, 7 workers and more on a way. Thanks :) Your colony w...
