Nice video!

Why is the product so expensive?

Imma subscribe

[@thatoneanimationguy8763]

I like the set up but is it possible to keep other types of ant's in the set up?

[@British89]

Very nice setup, Red covers don't seem to work with my messor barbarus though, I have to use blackout, if I try to use red they get all hyped up and end up moving somewhere darker as if they can see in the red spectrum, any ideas?

[@antstoreenglish]

It may be too bright despite the red foil. Is there too much light shining on the formicarium from the window or a lamp?

[@British89]

@@antstoreenglish it is quite dim in the room, I recently switched to a darker tint of red and it seems to have calmed her down, Just strange how its only my messor are affected, my other ants in the same room have no problems.

[@antstoreenglish]

@@British89 mhh ... that is strange behavior, but it's good that everything works now

[@nlluke5207]

Red covers do not work for this ant.

[@exoticants8543]

what is the digging medium in the nest?

[@exoticants8543]

how are they made? and what are they made from?

[@potats1770]

Probably some kind of very fine sandy soil

[@potats1770]

@@exoticants8543 how are what made? By the way, my former UA-cam channel also used to be called Exotic Ants. I stopped uploading a few years ago.

[@potats1770]

That soil is probably specially made so it stays up and does not collapse when they dig

[@FLOridaM.o.m]

[@user-ni8fb5du5i]

I think that plastic is better than glass

[@antstoreenglish]

Can you explain your opinion a little more why plastic is better?

[@user-ni8fb5du5i]

@@antstoreenglish Glass is heavier than plastic

[@antstoreenglish]

@@user-ni8fb5du5i and more weight is bad?

[@user-ni8fb5du5i]

@@antstoreenglish I think yes

[@antstoreenglish]

@@user-ni8fb5du5i Over the years we tested a lot of things and come to the conclusion that over a long time glas is better, because plastic gets scratched easily, gets a tint from the dirt of the animals and can begin to bend and form small gaps, where very small species can escape.

[@Antsational]

I don’t think they will grow from twenty workers to hundreds in days or weeks

[@antstoreenglish]

No that is right, they will take a couple months to a year to grow to a colony size of more than 100 ants
