Hmm, what do you do if they move into the glass tubes and they run out of water? Maybe some plastic tubes would be better, you could fill it from the backside with a fine syringe
Hi steve, i didnt make the branches i just bought them from a pet shop , they are usally used to put in reptile and lizard tanks and are a type of rubber with wire in the middle so they are very bendidble and they look so relistic too . Hi Dr house , i have done alot of reasearch and also worried about this problem , but i have found out that as long as there is a sourch of fresh water for the workers they will fetch the water they need and bring it back in there gasters . Also weaver ants build nests out of leaves and silk , both of which are not that moist and inside the nests it is really dry anyway .
Really great adam! Dont know another keeper of Oecophylla smaragdina. Hope they will do great and im happy when i could read more posts of your report ;)
Thankyou purifier , will keep evryone updated .
wow, the queen is Beutiful
oh and how long did your Order take to arrive, cos im still waiting for my Exotic Queen to arrive from Mr Kalytta too, nearly 1week and a half :(
cheers pal
Lovely Photos :)
Hi Kashmir my colony took 7 days to arrive , Mr kalytta is having problems with england post as its not that quick . Luckily my ants have survived the cold weather .I wish you goodluck , hope you get them safe and well mate.
I think you are gona have to be careful with your setup man, these ants can cooperate by making 'bridges' out of themselves to span longer distances than themselves, it is possible that they may be able to escape from your island :S
Hello miszt , yes i do know they can do that , i supply them with all they need so i am hoping escape is somthing they will not need to do. :grin:
the problem is, ants dont think like that, they will explore their teritory as far as they can, so they can defend it properly and find the best food sources, give them even the slightest chance to escape, and they will
as long as there is a good few inches, (they really can cover very large distances, check out the pics in google of their process for building a nest in the wild),probly 6+ for this species, then u shuldnt have a prob, but imo a self contained island is allot safer, rather than having two...i wuldnt want u to wake up in the middle of the night having been bitten a few dozen times by rampaging ants lol
In deed you need to be careful with these ants. ;)
Looks like they are doing fine now. Love to see some more pictures. ;)
