Bill P.'s Camponotus Herculeanus (Dark Morph) Journey & Journal

I believe you dont need to put them in the out world yet, you can continue feeding them in the test tube. Also does the test tube not fit in the outworld diagonally?

Maybe attach tube to outworld?? And then heat both?

No. Only heat half of tube, I once heated the outworld and the ants moved all the brood out. It took them 3 days to move back… (Camponotus floridanus)

Also, that way if heat is too high, they have somewhere to retreat to.

If we know most test tubes are around 150mm in length,(Right? 10mmx150mm?)

We know the s1 outworlds are 80x100(base)

And with a simple formula-

A^2+B^2=C^2

Then 80^2+100^2=How long the tube must be to perfectly fit.

So 6400+10000=16400

So, square root 16400, you get 128.06mm,

Therefore, if

Tube>128

The tube will not fit.


(The one time I actually care about the Pythagorean theorem, just because I am insanely bored right now)

Yo my brain restarting like windows 98

It’s just math

Edit: Also, we could assume since he bought ants from buckeye myrmecology, his tubes are 16-150mm, like the ones they sell, therefore, the tube won’t fit flat on the bottom.

Love the math example! L

Update - 5/28 - Interim Home, Thoughts?

Okay so I've been alternating every 2 or 3 days, a little tiny piece of superworm and then a dab of Agave Nectar.

Nobody has died lately!! Good thing.

Here is setup I just rigged. Queen and workers are all huddled up after the "disturbances".

Tube diameter matches the outworld opening diameter. A bit of electrical tape and voila!!
I have a little protein in one bowl, some nectar in another and water in the globe. See pics in link:

Gimme your thoughts, comments, criticism whatever. I take it all as help!!

Peace & Happy Anting...Bill P.

Try to put something in the liquid so they don’t drown. My ants try to drown themselves in liquid, and this would be bad for a small colony. A little pebble would do, or put a piece of Cotten

Brilliant advice on the liquid in the bowl. I keep forgetting that ants lick rather than drink. Thanks a ton.
