Re: is a Fish tank better or a plastic container and is soil better
You'll have hard time attaching the glass tank to anything else because for plastic you just drill a hole whenever
And it's said it's more natural to have the ants dig in soil than having them in a formicarium but they will also be harder to study

Re: Camponotus outworld?

Re: Connecting Nests
The hybrid nest just costs more (the complete setup kits). But it also looks so much better The outworld that comes with the All-You-Need Hybrid pack is what makes the Hybrid kit more expensive than the Omni kit. We had hoped to keep them closer in price, but have not been able to due mainly to tha...
