Hello,i plan on building a setup for my odontomachus monticola colony and and i wonder if anybody has some experience with moisture loving ants in ytong nest.
This is my first ytong formicarium and i want it to be able to hold moisture well for my ants. How often should i water the nest?
:ugeek: ;)
Formica rufibarbis
Odontomachus monticola
Tetramorim sp

For odontomachus, I add substrate and water the nest every three days.
