looks like the moisture and the roots is blocking the view to your ants which is the main reason to keep ants in the first place 0:57

That was the 1st prototype buddy, on the ones we build on this vid no moisture problem as we've added more ventilation. Plus this set up is designed for bio active terrarium lovers, which will keep clean nesting space check while allowing a view inside. Of course it won't be as good of a view from a typical ant farm but it would be able to keep the colony healthier.

This channel is top tier, I love how original every build is, I’ve always wanted to make this for a subterranean aphid farm species. Imagine Lasius flavus farming root aphids in this ant farm, it would be a self sustained fully visible nest

I'm not sure if there are aphids that feed on roots. You could set it up to let them farm aphids from the stems, just watch it, males fly. Good luck.

@ yes, subterranean ants do farm root aphids

Wish we have that specie in Philippines too. 💚

Hi @Dcolony , I really like your builds. Here in Indonesia the larvae and pupae of Semut Rangrang (Asian Weaver Ants) are known as kroto and are harvested commercially for use as captive songbird food and as fishing bait. I'm interested in ant keeping, I'm thinking is there a way to make living Semut Rangrang farm but with kroto that can be harvested? With your living ant farm builds plus a self feeding farm it seems even more interesting.

🐜🐜🐜 Thank you for the shout-out. You did get my name right. I'm definitely going to try this, I have a few non-diapause colonies that would do well, and a store that specializes in bonsai plants. I also want to try to raise a colony in an ant plant (forgot the name). Is there a way to send pictures? Great video as always. 🐜🐜🐜

Hey D, i ran into a similar problem when making my nests in multiple steps. I ended up using paper clips and bending them and cutting them. Insert one into the already poured before drying, leaving the other end sticking out, then when ready, pour the next layer an the 2 forms should hold together without an issue. This is typically used in construction with Rebar and pouring concrete to give flexibility and strength, but it will also lock things together

@Dcolony 2 ай бұрын

That's a great idea, buddy! 🫡 I've actually thought of using a chicken screen for a rebar, but I only found a rusty one so didn't use it but I ordered some for the future use.
