I hope you´ll have more luck with these once! Would you use the same basin?

yeah, although i'm going to clean everything first, and probly will make the farm area only on 2 sides, as catagliphis are allot bigger than p.p

I wuld really like the desert speices, Cataglyphis b icolor

however i' think i'm gona settle for Velox for now, as i dont have a tank big enough to show them off

Would you really use a 30x20 basin for Cataglyphis? I think its a little bit too small....

miszt: (9. Okt 2007 18:36)

well its setup as a farm basin, so its a 100cm farm :) depending on how its setup, not thought about it yet tho

Cataglyphis bicolor
These are a bit hard to keep don't you think. They are dessert ants (like you said yourself) ;) So they need much heating.

Hope you have more luck with this one.

yeah, i wont get bicolor just yet, although i really love them! they wuld need a very large tank, heat isnt so much of an issue, i've kept reptiles for years, and the tempreture controls are pretty simple to set up and control

gonna get Velox anyways at the moment, maybe when i move home and get a big tank i'll get bicolor :D

Sure depends on the set up....but when the base is a small basin you could not "enlarge" it :)
A 30x20 basin stay a 30x20 basin..... ^^

easy enough, just put it in a big tank :) but the Velox ants are not particuly big, and the 30x20 will house them long enough for me to stablise a big setup for them

I only want to say it by the way :) Dont knwo the size of Velox but i think you think about how to keep them and so i believe you that the basin isnt too small ;)
Have good luck with your new ones. Tell us when you order them/when you get them!
