What are these white streaks. Kinda like the the paths snails make?

Re: Messor white streaks on walls.
I have heard of ant pheromones making glass/plastic cloudy over time. Maybe this is what happened?
Re: Messor white streaks on walls.
I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is ant feces (poop!). This is normal for ants and it's not a thing to worry about, just make sure their enclosure gets cleaned every once and a while.
Re: Messor white streaks on walls.
Ok it's probably poop. But why do they make really long lines with it, like white hair? I'm just curious.

I think that's because they cluster their bathroom space together, so the lines look longer than they actually are. (Plus, they may have to go really badly and depending on where the chamber is, it could be a lot to hold in! )
