Beach Sand Substrate?
I am new to ant keeping and I do not have any ant queens yet, but I've decided to make the setup beforehand. I collected some sand from the beach as well as rocks from the beach. My question is that will using beach sand a substrate be safe, since beach sand has some salt in it?

Re: Beach Sand Substrate?
The best option would be to boil the sand and rocks just to make sure there are no hidden bacteria that could harm and kill the ants, the salt should be fine tho I haven't heard of ants dying from salt
