Hello Guys thanks for the comments , Andie yeap not long now fellor , hopfully they should be sentto me this week
Hello Baumarkthammer
It is only about a metre from the nest setup along the acrylic tube to the foraging tank. There are only 3 small containers as i read about harpegnathos spp having few nest chambers. The nest setup containers have about a inch of plaster in the bottom and the nests are flat inside here. Harpegnathos have no trouble climbing verticly up glass from my experiance so the slight incline in the acrylic pipe shouldent cause them great diffuculty, it has a layer of plaster in anyway to help with grip.
I have read alot about them , but i no of course you keep Harpegnathos saltator so have experiance with them , but most people keep them in a basic plaster nest with containers and just a layer of plaster in the bottom and the ants have trhived under these conditions. I have read many extracts from documents online by Cristian Peeters and Bert Holldobler who studyed both species and they kept there colonys under lab conditions in containers with just a simple plaster layer in the bottom for easy observation.
Im hoping this will suffice for my colony when they arrive also.
please feel free thou to offer any thoughts or advice if you have concerns over my setup.
Regards
Adam
