First I got:
Medium box
Small box
Heat mat
habi-stat
digital thermometer
and ant queen/s
PICTURES!
habi-stat costs: £22.99 of ebay
digital thermometer: £2.50 of ebay
exo terra heat mat: £20.00 for a pet store. To be honest you can get these allot cheaper.
Last of all the 2 boxes.
First of I had to fit all my wires and stuff and packed it into the box.
Now I placed the smaller box on top of the heat mat and taped the probe from the habistat to were my ants will be staying.
Now I have put the ants into the smaller box and attached my thermostat right next to the probe for best results.
Now the lid is on I have wrote the date I will be looking at them next.
Now everything is hooked up and working. I have put polystyrene balls for more warmth.
Oh what the hell I filled it all up!
The ant box in the garage.
To finish with I have tapped the thermometer to the window in the garage so I can check the temp without disturbing.
I hope this has given you guys some ideas. Please do comment, tell me what you think!
