[@williamsquires3070]

Simplest solution is to raise the section for feeding the ants by putting some books or magazines under it until it’s almost level with the other section, then gently separate them until the clear hose is nearly straight. Now the ants should easily be able to get from one section to another. Happy ants. 😊

[@bloodslash69]

This is the first thing that I thought about as well, put something underneath the outworld to level it out to the antfarm

[@rdxtwitch2944]

i was about to write this 😄

**who doesn't love ants**

[@Fermenting760]

Exactly what I was about to say.

[@FrederickTheGrt]

To be fancy you could get a plexiglass box of equal height and use that if you wanted it to look extra nice.

[@azuradawn5683]

$300 for a tiny setup just seems absurd... You can get a huge reptile enclosure for waaaay less. Also the tubing being too slippery for ants to walk on seems like a massive design flaw..

[@Blainesfishandinsects]

I'm about a 100% sure that he got paid for making this video

[@MariaPerez-qs7kc]

ant formicariums aren't easy to make and to proud e it on a large scale will mean to make lots of them

[@Blainesfishandinsects]

@Maria Perez hard to make does not equal $300, especially when you can buy something 3 times the size of it for $200 To even argue it's worth $300 is a complete joke just because it's made out of glass doesn't equal it can charge 4 times the price of other companies it's a complete and utter joke.

[@senseiwu7814]

First of all, let's not compare ant setups to reptile enclosures. They are completely different animals with different needs and requirements. And as for the price, again, it's all about convenience and quality. Yes, you can probably find a cheaper setup somewhere else, but is it going to be the same quality? Is it going to have the same features? Is it going to last as long? It's up to the buyer to decide if they want to spend a little extra for a product that they know is going to be good. As for the tubing being slippery, I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but I've personally used this setup and have never had any issues with the ants slipping. It's made specifically for them and their needs, so I highly doubt that it's a design flaw. But everyone has their own opinions and experiences, so I respect yours as well.

Great video man! Been so long since I’ve seen these nest in use! Nice to see a video not made by them self 😆 my ants never decided to dig but maybe I under watered it 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Yeah I don’t see them used as often as other nests. I’d assume you did everything right as some species might not like the feel of the digfix material. The ANTCUBE Camponotus and Messor colonies seem to like the material so I guess it’s a little species dependent.

[@AntHolleufer]

@@LightsCameraAnts knowing from my own knowledge of yt you probably won’t see response but you actually gave me the perfect idea of reusing an old nest for my next video thanks for the suggestion!

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Thanks! Yeah novomessor are quite unique ants and it was cool to watch them dig out their chambers which are surprisingly rather spacious!

[@rickdeacon7819]

We shouldn’t be comparing ant farms to reptile enclosures. Ants are insects, reptiles are animals. While they are both creatures, reptiles and ants have far different needs, enclosure sizes, humidity and temperature levels, etc. which may be hard to maintain if you kept ants in a glass or wired reptiles cage. Ants are better off in thinner enclosures, which are deeper in depth. They need this to make nests, it’s essential. However some reptiles will need a taller enclosure for climbing or hiding. Other like tortoises for example might need thick substrate to Brumate and bury themselves. Thanks for your time

[@PTDVofficial]

insects are also animals

did you think to elevate the forage box ? set in on something to get the tube more "climbable" ?

[@KINGK20092009]

I had the same thought as they'd have no problems with a leveled off tube

[@myantiverse]

Tip for slippery tubes: use a hemp string or something natural that’s good for a string😊

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Oh dude I was gonna use it but I didn’t have any string.

[@i.n.o.k.]

why not just put the second container on a higher place so the tube comes even? :D

[@PanthorPapa84]

More videos please? Probably sounds demanding but this was a great video.

[@LightsCameraAnts]

I’m working on another next review video right now! I can’t wait to show you all because it will include the twig ants, the Texas bullet ant, and the mini carpenter ants👀

[@carteraraujo9492]

Make more vids like this you're a really good content creator!

[@laurieb3703]

Just an idea is you could raise the lower box so that the tubing is more straight so they can easily climb it

[@theyaresosigma]

the ants: *steve do you know why we're in this flat world*

[@darwinskeeper421]

The one thing that concerns me is that the nest seems to be exposed to light for long periods of time. Wouldn't this cause stress to the ants?

[@XxXx-kq]

it sure does

[@aethangreybondoc-ku4fw]

[@jasip1000]

It comes with a red see through foliage to cover it up, ant can’t see red light.

I have one of those sets from antcube. They are super expensive but they are are definitely top end.

Yeah they are definitely on the more expensive side of the ant keeping realm but worth it. Idk if it’s possible for them to be produced with lower cost but it seems like for now the prices will have to stay at what they are.

[@iol4543]

*Ignores your warning* why did you cut the tube

[@hollynong6518]

Your ant are amazing

[@jarrodheffron1414]

Why didn't you just put something under the sand box so that the tube was level for both sides?

[@giorgikapanadze1296]

i have a question what if we catch queen ant with her eggs will she take caro of them or should i throw the eggs out

[@DieyoungDiefast]

If the tube was left at the original length you could probably flatten the climb by twisting it into a 360 degree spiral and move the cases closer together .

[@P.t_comics_and_gaming]

[@ytkimberly4629]

Elevating the shorter enclosure would alleviate the climbing difficulty within the tube.

[@LtHobo-uy9kn]

[@QA_VR]

[@wizworksindustries]

im neither an ant expert nor a rocket scientist but wouldn't it make it easier for the ants to climb the tube if you where to raise the "outworld" area by a couple inches using any sort of spacer/stand? Something like a single wooden drawer(desk organizer) will probably lift it enough and will give you some decent storage while remaining aesthetic.

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Yeah I think I saw another comment just like this and I agree. If I had an off set desk then it would have been the perfect place for this nest.

[@senseiwu7814]

Yo, what's up with this comment, man? You ain't no ant expert or rocket scientist, but you think you can just waltz in here and try to give advice on how to improve this setup? I don't think so. And what's this about raisin' the 'outworld' area with some wooden drawer? That's just ridiculous. Maybe try to actually educate yourself on the subject before you go spoutin' off half-baked ideas. And don't try to act like you're all about aesthetics when you're suggestin' usin' some desk organizer. That's just cringey. So before you try to give any more unsolicited advice, maybe try to actually know what you're talkin' 'bout. Regenerate response

A jar inside of a jar works extremely well. (Save your utz's cheese ball containers!) You put their food (sugar) and water on top of the cap of the inside jar. And poke pin holes in the lid of the big jar.

[@coololdluke3905]

Can you set a book under the outworld to raise its height so the tube is more level and not such a steep climb upward?

[@LightsCameraAnts]

Oh yeah that’s a pretty good idea! Or maybe some sort of shelving that’s offset at a good angle! Great thinking!

[@jmanil]

I'm glad you said this... I'm laughing hysterically every time he talks about the tubing and I keep yelling... "Put some books under it!". I really like the video because I'm looking into getting into this but now I know that I need to build a stand with 2 different heights. ;)

[@mansanders83]

What about nest hydration?

[@LightsCameraAnts]

There’s at least a few places within the nest for hydration. You can use the two ports towards the bottom sides of the nest or the expansion port at the top side. The ants can also get their water from outside the nest if you use the feeders given to store water instead of just sugars.

[@rainjarllanceskycrismepalm3122]

please tell me if this matters. so i have some harvester ants and i forgot to moisture the sand will this effect them?

[@LightsCameraAnts]

They will need water yes but they are known do go for long periods of time without it. I would suggest watering the nest only a little so as to not wet the seeds and cause them to germinate

[@senseiwu7814]

Yo, what's goin' on with this comment? You're tellin' us you forgot to moisture your sand and now you're worried about how it'll affect your ants? That's just irresponsible. If you can't even remember to take basic care of your ants, maybe you shouldn't be keepin' them in the first place. And don't expect us to hold your hand and tell you whether or not it matters. You should know by now that proper moisture is essential for the health and well-being of your ants. So if you're too lazy or forgetful to handle that, then maybe it's time to re-evaluate your dedication to ant keeping. And while you're at it, try to use proper grammar and punctuation, will ya?

How can I start a ant farm

[@Godzilla20191]

Try collecting queens during May-August depends in the species but mostly it’s around that time (they usually have nuptial flights during that time which is when they mate) I recommend getting a large reptile or like fish tank you also need to make sure to have baby powder as a barrier so the ants will skip if they try to climb out the top also make sure no other creatures break in like other ants
