Hi, I ordered new pipe which arrived today so I got to work shortening the existing pipe work width wise so I can box it in better for the winter coming and I even managed to fit the braces at the bottom and for the basic rear insulation panel.

The pipes where full of ant so there was a lot of angry ants as I just plugged up the pipe while sawing to size lol.

Some may not like this but I thought it was interesting, I was feeding the colony and one ant that I hadn't noticed got caught in the door and was be-headed. the ant with out a head was still able to right itself when I tried to over turn it etc, was very strange. Which means it must have its sensors for detecting its position on its body.

Another weird thing is that I done a bit of work yesterday on the set-up expanding pipes etc and today I put in apple and bramble which I haven't put in the tank for a while so would have expected them to be well received, especially the apple but all day I've had just loads of ants/ foragers just roaming the tank chirping, not interested in the offerings. ????
Are they looking for quitter premises?

Bought a 1.5mm drill to increase ventilation in pipe work and look who was climbing the pipe work! :O
Glad I noticed her but can't say I was pleased to see her.
A noticeable difference between the Acromyrmex and Atta queen apart from the obvious size is the Acro queen is not mobbed or covered by any ants unlike an atta queen who is covered constantly, also this highlights what I said previously about how willing the Acromyrmex is to move about.

DIY Island with moat that I'll be fitting in to exo foraging tank when silicone dries tomorrow. Will hopefully stop escapees and make a rope walk way easier to do next year.[br]Hyperlinks sind nur für registrierte Nutzer sichtbar[br][br][br]Hyperlinks sind nur für registrierte Nutzer sichtbar

Great setup. They are hard the keep but your doing a good job. Make sure you don't keep the nest to wet, the fungus gives a lot of humidity to. How is the nest doing now?

Hi Jimmy, thanks for reply.
I've actually sold my Acromyrmex to focus on my Atta, I asked the buyer to keep in touch but he's failed to do so which is s shame. I'm going to load s new video of my stay later
