Ant Tower Questions
I just got the new Ant Tower in the mail and I love the design. I'm really excited to see it in action, but I have two questions. One, I see it has a sort of notch or trench on the underside of the hydration tray. Is that for use of a heating cable? Two, how recommended is it to use the air circulation port? Is that something I should look into right away, or only if it develops problems with condensation or mold later on, or do certain kinds of ants need more air flow?

Re: Ant Tower Questions
Well, Okay, I don't know the answer to your first question, but from my understanding, using the ventilation port reduces mold outbreaks and tells your ants that the out world is outside of the nest. I'm not sure how how important the latter is for small colonies, though.PAants wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 4:40 pmI just got the new Ant Tower in the mail and I love the design.
