How I Accidentally Killed My Termites (Full ANT ROOM Update)

I believe my termites have all died and it id due to a factor that I did not consider. In this full Ant Room Update tour vlog, I update you on all the colonies and creatures of the Ant Room, feed my colonies, show you some new queen ants I've caught, and explain how I believe my termite colonies died. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Greetings, AC Family/ant lovers everywhere! I'm so sorry. I owe you guys an explanation. So many of you wanted to know the truth about the termites, so here it is. I also figured, I'd show you what has been happening in the Ant Room with a complete tour. Hope you enjoy this week's very different video. Ant love forever! 🐜🐜🐜

[@EmpressOfExile206]

​@@AntsCanadaWhy not let that beautiful Scolipendra go back to the wild if you have zero interest in keeping it or showing it off to the AntLoveArmy? Doesn't seem like your style to cram an awesome & active predator like that into a tiny kritter-keeper for the heck of it? Unless you're planning to use it as a feeder lol In that case just freeze it, because keeping it in that tiny keeper just feed it off when it dies of *_cough cough_ "natural causes" would seem disingenuous to myself as well as many others I'm sure💯 🙏🏼🤘🏼

[@bobdapopcat2652]

I’ll be honest, this channel is better than any documentary about ants I’ve ever seen on TV. I hope the best for all your ants! 🐜

[@Ladybassguitarplayer]

I agree 💯!!

[@zrothepangolin]

well tbh making a good docu about ants is near impossible, one reason is the funding which is hard to get specially if your pitch is "a documentary informing people about ant" then theres the amount of time people need to get quality content from monitoring ants after that they have to edit that. like most broadcasting company or whatever will just tell you "why not make it a documentary about insects, cause ants is way too specific to use all our resources in it" so yeah the best ants docu we will ever get is from ant keepers.

Hey AC. I've been watching your channel for about a year now and honestly as much as I adore the production and the stories, I have to admit this episode was really refreshing. You're an antcyclopedia, it's awesome to hear you explain things in such a calm way! Wouldn't mind seeing more episodes like this

[@bgravel11]

I have some news to share for today, In philippines the nuptial flight summer is about to end, but I'm not able to antkeep yet because my parents won't let me, so I'm just here explaining that I ran out of time to finally start antkeeping. Or is it? I still keep seeing fire ant alates (solepnosis invicta) in my bathroom just looking for a perfect place to grow their colony, but I have no choice but to leave them alone for them to start their colony in peace, I hope I become an antkeeper soon when I grow up. By the way you're just the best ant channel ever, my favorite antkeeping channel as some of its old tutorial videos helped me gain more knowledge about ants, and how to antkeep of course. Thank you for making all these ant videos, they make me feel like I'm in a place with different antlovers, kinda like my best friend Luther. But all I wanna say is that I can't go antkeeping until I grow up, but AntsCanada, you're the best antkeeping channel I've ever seen.

[@davidklein8608]

You should do videos like this more often. It is really hard to have a favorite colony or to get too interested in any one colony (or colonies) because I know that they will be mostly forgotten after having their time in the spotlight.

[@kalebwombolt1335]

Over the weekend, I had the greatest luck, I saw 3 golden ant colonies doing their nuptial flight and caught 15 queen ants mated, I am so thankful for this Chanel to help to teach me how to keep ants. Thank you antscanada

[@martinhuhn7813]

Termites tend to care a lot about heat and humidity and they do a lot to regulate it themselfes. In those tiny containers they have hardly any chance to make choices or use deep soil to adjust their own situation. It might be worth a thought, not to use the ant-approach for them, but to start off with a terrarium with different soils in different spots, with a humidity gradient (misting on one side), with the possibility to utilize "morning sun" (heat lamp in one spot only) and with a variety of wood, bark and leave sources inside, as well as with spots of additional shadow produces by plants. (maybe with isopods and springtails). If you introduce multiple pairs into such a setup, you can check out, which conditions and ressources the thermites chose in an indoor-setup and it would give them all opportunities.

[@necieau2700]

I'm in awe at the quality of your high prod vids, but it's also cool just hanging out with you and getting little updates on every colony we've been loving

It is nice to see the little system you have set up to move the black crazies into an AC Portal because I think a lot of your viewers can relate to that type of setup.

[@AlienXtream1]

i think i speak for all of us when i say we dont mind you taking a break from "high production" videos. heck, most of us probably would be content with a couple of paragraphs recapping the week in YT posts. something that i think a lot of creators forget, most of us probably aren't upset when a video doesn't happen exactly when we expect it. often its more confusion and possibly concern. if you cant get a video done on time one week then i have no doubt just a quick update post "yeh, all is good. just need another day or two to finish this video" would be well accepted. there is a difference between being slack and slowing down or taking a step back. none of us think you're slack (heck, you had a damn house built around your hobby...). and just like we understood the less frequent and less edited videos during its construction so to will we understand if you need to skip over a weeks upload for one reason or another. the main thing is about documenting and sharing the ants (and distant relatives) activities and if taking a break from uploading heavily edited videos for a week or two helps then by all means. it also probably helps us appreciate the ants more imo. its like seeing a famous actor/actress off set without the makup. it feels "real" to me personally and helps ground the colonies as actual things and not some surreal construct that only exists when we are watching it. it also helps highlight the effort that goes into the "makup". from the camare angles to the lighting to the practical FX you do sometimes. it really does feel like meeting a celebrity in person vs seeing them on screen. life is a rollercoaster and has ups and downs. and considering that your whole YT carear revolves around "working with animals" i think some extra leniency for unpredictability is to be expected and accepted. i have gone on quite a tangent here but i think the point is burried in there somewhere; dont stress about upload scheduals. if a video isn't going to make it for the normal deadline then so be it. a heads up via YT post would be nice to let us know everything is (or, God forbit, isn't) ok would surely be appreciated but by no means necassrry (and mostly just to curb our anxieties).

I think the realization that the termites probably stay cool by their nest being underground, this could help in providing better setups when you attempt another termite nest.
