- After months of watching these ants I’m please to say I’ve finally got some Harpegnathos venator! The are gorgeous ants that seem so inquisitive! They have really good vision and seem to watch you with their big beautiful eye! 
As always I have a general introduction into my ants with a basic care guild, I’ve also got a new nest with this the AntHQ Myrmeco nest which I give my first impressions on this nest. I know i have a repartition of being brutal, but i think I’m fair!
Don’t forget to leave a comment if you know what my mystery ant is!

This species makes gamergates, so even if both your queens die (which btw do at 4 or 5 years of age) the colony is technically immortal
Great to see you back on line with a new video - Great video / care format 😊
Cheers buddy! I just can’t find the time at the moment to be consistent
They are so beautiful !!
they are. surprised me how much i like them. so pretty
Beautiful bro! ❤💯
Gotta love harps! They are awesome!
Looking forward to your lives now to see if you remember to pick it up by the base or not 🤣 plus I'm sure Perry will start off a new campaign for you to get attacked by then 😅
Looking forward to seeing them grow ❤️🐜🐜🐜
😂😂😂 you know I’ll end up dropping the nest! I’m not going to get stung by these for all the tea in China! I hear it’s really painful
I got thies set up yesterday at Central London show and ended up glueing the outworld down.
Love your vids
thanks buddy
great video hood, I love the new ants
Yeah they are cool looking for sure
Enjoy this sp pal, loving mine, very entertaining
Yeah I think they will be
Dont worry, the stings are not bad from a Harpegnathos. Nice colony that too.
wow harps?? such a cool species ❤
yup. they are much better in person for sure!
Great video Hoody! They are honestly one of the most amazing species you can keep. One tip is that you need to make sure they don't dry out. They can't drink from feeders or test tubes so you will have to figure out something else!
Also if you feed the roaches sugar water before feeding them, the ants drink sugarwater hahaha
Thanks for the tips! They are not going to get water from the hydration part so I need to think about how I do it
Mine used to drink from the condensation on the top of the glass as well as straight off the gypsom .
Don’t think I have that option with this set up
Might need to put a shallow try and put water in that. Not deep enough to drown but big enough to last a-couple of days
Red colour, huge yep, looks like a messor cephalotes ;)
My Harps laid at 26 degrees, they seem happy at that
I love harps there one of my favourites , also that queen is a messor cephalotes , a queen I really want but im not ready to keep
They are really cool ants! And you are right about the cephalotes, but she didn’t survive
The mystery of the new colony is gone you accidentally showed the name that was on the test tube can't wait to see those take a good spot on the channe
i know! hahahahahhaha
@@antshood3324 think you can expect pj to be on you everytime about sticking your hand in for the stings. But looking forward to seeing how both the colonies do over the next couple months
Me too! Fingers crossed they will both do well
That water dish is way too small as you noted, it's not for humid species but even resting eggs on it is a bad idea. You can keep the top half from sliding a bit more if you put some tubing through both holes to connect them, though I don't know much about the hole dimensions. It would help it from shifting left and right. The light inside needs to have a dimmer switch big time, that is way too bright. Can you change the bulb? We have a similar thing over here in the U.S. from Tar Heel Ants and while they don't have the light, the water dish is more adequately sized and the outworld is connected a lot better as you made a great point on the issue. Imagine having an outworld filled with ants and you accidentally pull it off with a gaping hole at the bottom and all the ants rush down. That doesn't seem right at all.
No the lights are fixed, and if you see my video I dropped today, I’ve moved them out of it. Yeah I think going forward I’m going to glue the outworld down so it don’t move.
Messor Ceph?
5 for ants
16:20 - 16:25 I saw the queen, you can see the wing scars
Messor cephalotes
I also got harps from hq, good ants they are
When did you get yours?
@@antshood3324 about a month ago
how they getting on? got a good brood pile?
@@antshood3324 they got 20 odd eggs and 2 big larvae
Nice! 😎
First!!
don’t think you was! lol
@@antshood3324 said 0 views, oh well, one of the first!
Second! Hehehehehe
26c is golden for them.
thanks for the tip!
18:16 that was a Queen watching you .
so it is! didn’t even notice that
Do an update on pheidole noda
No can do. They are dying off
@@antshood3324 can you get pheidole
I had coke, pheidole noda, but they have almost completely died off now, I only have majors left and no minors.
I have this kind of ant!
How do you find them? Anything to add to my requirements for them?
@@antshood3324 My English is not very good. Do you mean that I have any breeding experience to share with you?
not really. i have a basic care requirements for them, but do you have anything else to add to it from your experience of keeping them for a while?
he he he PJs got new project he he he
#herplovestingers
nooooooo!
put a bit of glue under the outworld hood
Oh, how I wish I lived in the uk right now. DAMN YOU USDA
They are very cool ants
Spoilers on the ant colony he is hiding
Messor cephalotes that is actually insane colony i hope she don't die (need to edit the name out from that can clearly see the name of it) a good pause at 5:43 and into 5:57 - 6:02
Lol classic me! Can do anything right
I'm seriously considering getting this colony, what would you recommend I do to start up ?
Get a small nest, not the one I’ve used, with a single large chamber, put some form of substrate, don’t use sand, coco fibre or soil is ideal and keep Carly humid.
@antshood3324 yeah, I've been looking at the AntsHQ Ultisol I nest, that looks ideal and is relatively cheap.
Thanks for the advice.
yesssssssssssss shout out by Sir Hood AT 13:18 mmmmm so it starts
no it doesn’t! lol!
Where i can buy formicarium and the outworld??
It was from antsHQ
They obviously packed it to catfish the rest.. I got no tubing.. No thermometer and queen with brood instead of 15 workers and brood and it wasn't cheep.. Never again
this is what i got with mine buddy, if it was advertised with bits your missing speak to ants hq, as i’ve always found them to be accommodating.
cutie faces bud 19:19 make it date out your finger in the give her a poke im should pay the fav back #herplovestingers
That awkward moment when a company gives you a couple of hundred quids worth of ants and set-up, FOR FREE, because you're an "I'm really poor, but I want it, but I'm poor!!", whining beggar, and you turn it into a product review and slate the gift!
Ungrateful beg AF.
Your more than welcome to think that matey, but it’s not what happened. I never approach a retailer asking for free stuff, they all come to me, I’m not one of those guys that’s says “I’m an influencer, I want free stuff!” Not me matey. Everyone that watches ant videos and is aware of me, knows I will give an honest opinion and not just say something is good because I’m obliged too because it’s free. Retailers also know this and that’s why I don’t get free stuff often.
But this is your opinion so I’m cool with that.
@@antshood3324 No, from what I've seen you're one of those guys who states, often and pitifully, "I wish I could have 'x' but I can't afford it." "I'd love to have 'x', but I don't have the funds." "It'd be great if I could get 'x', but finances. . ."
It amounts to the same thing. And I'm guessing in person, or one on one, you're worse. One of you in every hobby, dude.
