  1. Ive been looking but can't find any info on how the prince and princesses can leave for nuptial flight in a captive colony...not leave as in escape, what I mean is, do you take them out when it's time for their nuptial flight and if so how do you separate them from the rest of the colony? And what then? Do you then look for someone in the GAN project to trade your prince & princesses with to make new queens or do you try to have 2 colonies of each species so you can breed them??? Can someone plz help me out here cuz I'm really confused
  2. h
  3. ants canada if you get another colony this big then you should get a huge fish tank and fill it with water and then let the ants drink from it through cotton.
  4. talking of your cross tubing being held together by tape... why not just use a glue gun then dont have to worry at all as it wont move around after that
  5. he is singal
  6. it says recorded (Jan 5) but published Jan 4 time travel
  7. you could get a ton of Omni nest verticals and put them like files
  8. Why not just pour water into an outworld . Or create a small river system for the ants . I never see creative ant keepers :(
  9. Add some large fish tanks for outworlds . Be so much cooler .
  10. I comend you on loving ants......I found that I was SO bored with this, but did learn something. :)
  11. What's funny is that 2 years ago I despised red tropical fire ants. Now I love them
  12. I'm glad he has tube connectors now, because all that taping must have been a pain to remove!
  13. I enjoy these playlists where you can watch the updates on a single colony.
  14. is it smart to connect a omni nest vertical to a regular omni nest
  15. hay if you want for the ants to feel a little bit free is to at least give them a fight
  16. story in short. don't get tropical reds until your ready lol
  17. the fire ants are like the Chinese. the population grows and not enough room to live
  18. Hello again.. I commented on another video about how keeping Ants busy and being able to SEE THEM work is what a lot of Ant people really like about Ants, at least a lot of the folks I've spoken to about Ants.. This enclosure is impressive but you can't see anything.. I just don't get it as too why having them enclosed in this way where you can't see them.. Again that is a huge colony but I can just imagine how much more of a joy it would be too see what they were really doing, and giving them things to do.

    Good Job by the way I think I will be getting in contact with you after the new year I'd like to get started with my own colony..
  19. Do only queens have wings? In my region are a lot of winged ants. Are that all queens? Ore do male ants have wings two?
  20. Do u still have this colony? You probably had to mass kill half of them with food shortage.
