beautiful outworld and beautiful ants ❤
Thank you very much .
Great video and incredible project - glad to see transfer went well
Thanks 😊 The colony is happy with the new outworld
That outworld is just *mwah*
Thanks 😊
Turned out really good. Glad to see the colony enjoying it
Yeah I’m really happy with it. They love the extra space as well. I’ve added a new acrylic nest for more space and they have packed it. 👍🏼
Looks great and definitely inspired me. I would have liked to see how you drilled the hole in the side though 😉
That’s great, glad it helps and inspired. 👍🏼 Yes I think next time I’ll show the drilling through the glass…bit tricky and have to be very patient
Yay another upload
Enjoy 😊
Nice setup
I realy like the out world i spesifically like glass setups.
But i would like if it had branches or vines across the top of the
Out worlds lid.
Thanks for watching. It’s nice for the ants, they seem to love it and enjoy the extra space. I wanted to be careful what I put in there so they couldn’t escape. Some more height would be good though, so I might add a large stick of some sort eventually
My myrmecia queen has larvae now I’m quite excited about it
Nice that’s great. Well done
Done really well. Love it
Thank you very much. I’m really happy with the result
Awesome! New video!
Thanks, it was lots of fun to make and took quite a while
Brown dirt and white sand both work well together 👍
Yeah I think so 👌🏼👍🏼
looks nice, thanks for the video
No worries thank you
Wow, INCREDIBLE build, great job man. Looking forward to more videos about them.
Thank you so much. I’ll make an update on them soon…😊👍🏼
Ha! I have the exact same fish tank, mine has a colony of Blue Dream shrimp in it though.
Awesome! Great size tank
Great video!
Thanks 😊
Great video! As for transferring workers from the old outworld, I would have used cotton balls. a single ball could pick up a few ants with a single "dab", then you can just leave the whole cotton ball in the new outworld and remove them when they finally let go.
Thank you very much 😊 Yes the cotton balls would have been good…I might try that next time! Thanks for the tip
Great idea mate
Hope it all works out its a massive out world upgrade thats for sure
Yeah I’m really happy with it. 😃
beautiful
Thanks 😊
You made a great job, thanks for sharing with us ! I love C consobrinus !
Awesome so happy you liked it. Appreciate you watching 😊
love this outworld and the style of your video , very well done .
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching 😃
You should film them at night! Conso is nocturnal
Yes they are quite active then. Harder to film though. But I have a night light now on my meat ants that looks cool
nice@@NovoAnts
that looks so good! amazing job on making it
Thank you very much 😊👍🏼
jolie création, et jolie colonie
bonne continuation et longue vie a cette colonie
Merci beaucoup
I love this idea. I'm going to do it tomorrow for my ants when they get out of hibernation but I'm concerned about the plaster being bad for the ants?
Glad you like it. The plaster is fine if you use a non toxic and make sure it drys out fully before you introduce the colony. Can’t guarantee that they won’t dig but none of mine have. I use plaster of Paris.
I just noticed that the bag of sand was cut on the side... Was that the same sand bag you cut while opening that 3d printed nest from a few years ago?
I know this episode is a bit old now as well but I never noticed that before. Lol!
Haha if it’s the red back of red sand then yes it’s the same one. It’s cost a bit to outlay at the beginning but last for ages
when do camponotus consobrinus have their nuptial flight?
They have flown already, generally around November and December. I caught a queen this season, usually come across one or two queens.
Hello, I know my question is a bit off topic, but I hope You will still answer it. So I was wondering how long did it take for Your myrmecia nigrocincta queen to lay eggs? Thanks in advance
Hi, sorry for slow reply, I didn’t see this message. The time varies a lot for a queen to start laying. Depends on her health, environment, stress levels etc. most queens start laying in the first month but I’ve had others take 6-10 months
Its nice but I saw one that beats this easily.
Imagine a canyong that's crossed by a bridge in the middle of the formicarium. Four platoues connected like that.
Ants can go around and underneath at the bottom or go on top and enjoy the sight. Ants can go up via fake green plants reaching up in a bow.
Channel: SnE Ants - Main Camponotus .... ( honest I'd love try to do that. Its far more 3dimensional than most things you see. Probably hell to clean though :)
Yeah I try for natural looking outworlds that also give plenty of room and are easy to clean. My next one I'm going to try a few different things. Thanks for commenting.
dont know what went wrong but the audio mastery goes bad after a while but then seems to fix itself? anyway good video 👍
Hmmm not sure why that happened, ive played it again the sounds is OK. Thanks for watching
How did you drill that hole!?
Could you just connect the outworld to the outworld, extension like?
I drilled it with a glass drill bit, you need to be really patient. Very fragile. Yes you could connect multiple outworlds together. 😃
Nice, how big is this area?
The tank is about 2 foot. Good size for the moment. I don’t like crowded outworld but at some stage I won’t be able to keep up.
What do you use to connect your outworld and nest?
I use plastic tubing. Some from ant shops or otherwise tubing from a hardware store.
I got a question my bull ant queen moved out the test tube with her larva and eggs what do I do maybe she likes it outside cause it’s dry
They do tend to move around to suit their requirements. Its not a bad thing but maybe give them another test tube with no water and see what happens.
@@NovoAnts she dug a hole near the testube I can still see her larva though she sorta dug down it’s pretty cool but I hope she can still get water
How to make holes in glas?
I used a battery’s drill with a glass drill bit. Very slow drilling, watching the whole time. Took quite a while as I didn’t want to crack it. Thanks for watching
How old is your colony? Had mone for 2 years and been stuck on 6 workers for ages. Lots of brood the larvae just dont seem to be advancing
This colony is approaching 4 years. Your colony should be growing way quicker. Are they kept somewhere warm? Plenty of protein?
@@NovoAnts i just leave them at the room temperature which is usually close to outside temps. I read to let them be cool in winter so they can semi hibernate? Also i feed them either a cricket or meal worm about once a week :)
are they eating their brood?
You didn't show the only part I wanted to see. Drilling into the aquarium ☹
Haha next time perhaps. It’s pretty boring! No pun intended 😂
@@NovoAntslol. I've watched a few other videos of drilling through glass. I don't think I'll attempt to do it. I might just make an acrylic outworld.
