Hi LeonofLondon no i havent got climate control but if you mean am i keeping the temp, humidity right the answer is yes the fungus is on a biscuit tile (tile not been glazed)its absorbant like tissue but its a tile so they carnt cut it up. Every couple of days i add some water whitch rest under the tile slowly being realised. The humidity in the box is 90-100%and evrything must be right as the queen is laying well, more and more workers are hatching and they are still leaf cutting everyday and plus the fungus garden is growing in size evryday.Yes i am aware they can cross the water but they dont. They use it to dump there rubbish and it gets cleared out every day.many greetings Adam

Hi mike yes i know. The tile protects (water is under tile) it but at the same time acts as a moist surface like soil.

post from LeonofLondon - today

LeonofLondon hat geschrieben:Im sure leaf cutters and require about 80% humidity how are you maintaining this from the pictures it seems there open in the room and you do relise that even with the water it is not completly escape proof becuase they can float to the side.

Hi mike yes i do understand as i said earlyer the tile absorbes water and holds it there so the fungus is not sitting in water it is sitting on the tile and i add some water by inserting a pipete with a norrow tube and squirt about two drops of water under the tile .It is then absorbed by the tile so no part of the fungus sits in the water.Basically the tile acts like gypsum and ytong blocks its absorbent like them.The humidity is 90-100% and as i have said the fungus garden is growing larger evryday so it isent callapsing. :) greetings Adam.
