ANTSTORE World of Ants

[highered]

Thanks for the information guys, I have bought some today, I hope it gets posted by next day delivery as I don't think GLS runs on bank holidays (this Bank holiday Good Friday). So, they need 60-80% humidity. My flat is in England (moderate humidity which I assume is 40-60%) but it has a damp problem so as it is do you think it is just enough or should I increase the humidity in their basin but putting a small box of water in there? Thanks. I will use a 40W heater bulb from Antstore for the heat.

I suppose the humidity would be fine. Hope they arrive soon. Keep us posted.

Would I be right in assuming that a small box of water in an enclosed big basin would increase the humidity too much, say to 80-100%? Thanks.

[neab]

Yes, but also heat the water to create humidity

It is better to keep them dry. These ants are very sensitive what mite concerned. Therefore is it better to kept them dry.
A lot of keeper in germany loss their colonies by mites.

[akell]

Yes mites are bad. it helps to keep the ground dry and have an area of damp sand so if they do get mites they can clean themselves using the sand.

Does Collembola are compatible with Harpegnathos venator to help to don't have mites?

[Chemitech]

Yes they are compatible. Harpegnathos have often a chamber with different kinds of small insects like Collembola or Isopods.
