Hola que tal estás? Me ha gustado mucho este vídeo tuyo, y me gustaría preguntarte después de este tiempo que tal les fue a las camponotus Nicobarensis en ese hormiguero de madera? Yo tengo una colonia que tengo que mudar ya y he pensado en un hormiguero así como el tuyo…..ya me cuentas que tal les fue en ese hormiguero……muchísimas gracias compañero. Un fuerte abrazo
Hi, hm good question. If its well made there are no cons. Maybe only that you cant use it for every species. But fact is that I saw some cracking or space between wood and plexiglass plate, things that ruin all the experience and things that you have to worry less on 3d printed ore machine cut stuff that made it beyond prototypes and so on. Pros are that you don’t have to care about hydration for example 🙂 To expensive as a con I would add. You pay for the looks not for the utility but as a pro, you can make it after your own design more or less, make it expandable with that plugs that you can turn.
You can’t water this type of nest, that’s why it is not suitable for all ant species. Only for the species that leave in dead, dry wood. Many Camponotus species do so and I noticed since the colony was small in the test tube or in other type of nest, that they rather avoided humid areas. Here is a nice and informative video if you want to watch: th-cam.com/video/MSRd0dufPHo/w-d-xo.html
Shootz, I would say you should get a nest that you like and afford, from a company you know or saw some reviews about, and so on. I think the ants will thrive in any type of nest if the conditions are right 🙂
To be honest Shootz, I don’t know at what temperature they die. I had mine between 20-30 Celsius ( accidentally ) and they didn’t die. I am sure they can tolerate bigger ranges for short amount of time without dying. I keep mine at room temperature and I have low min in winter 21 and max in summer 27. In winter I let the arena at room temperature but I have a small heat mat for the nest. I hope this answers your question. You can also try to search for Camponotus nicobarensis videos and watch some more, there you can find information about temperatures and what other people do.
You got an amazing colony of ants. I like to watch your videos. So happy you make them about my favourite Nicos
Oh yes, I’we checked your colonies too, seem to thrive nicely 🙂💪
@@AntsNotes My Nicos, they are absolutely sweethearts. No issue so far with them
Beautiful nest! Beautiful colony! Great video!
Ty, I appreciate. 🙂

Was there a red cover for this 🤔
These type of nests looks awesome but how good does the humidity function?

@@AntsNotes yeh I'm gonna watch it now
dope nest! i got a camponotus nicobarensis nest with around 250 ants, what do you prefer for nest to me?
Shootz, I would say you should get a nest that you like and afford, from a company you know or saw some reviews about, and so on. I think the ants will thrive in any type of nest if the conditions are right 🙂
@@AntsNotes thanks
I have another question, does camponotus die's to low temperatures? Ant what for temperature things are the best to buy?

Does the store have a website? Thanks
Sure. It’s: foranto.eu/ 🙂👍
Nice 👍🏻
This didn’t end wellfor Ant Hollifur ☝️ Too much space in the nest, but… Nowhere to get food or water 😤 This is the problem with gigantic nests
