The wax serves a few purposes. It seals the grout and brings out its true colour. It helps keep humidity slightly higher inside the nest. Also it will be easier to clean when the time comes to move the colony and reuse the nest.
The orange is just the protective cover. The acrylic is clear. I've used glass before but I can cut acrylic into any shape I like. Thanks for taking a look.
That formicarium you made is fire, fantastic job🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Ant warriors. I will have to make some more.
Nice work !!!! Very fastidious I see!! Bewdiful 🤩🤩
Love the storm bird in the background!!
That's actually my eclectus parrot. She sounds like one though from time to time.
@@crazylegs8891 the bird in beginning of vid is storm bird :) ur parrot is pretty impressive if its mimicking the storm bird
@@crazylegs8891 2:24-2:38 in the background :)
@@olliefs9298 ah yes, you are right. Good ears. I hadn't noticed that.
Extremely neat. I hope I have a half of your patience.
You can do it mate. The more time you spend the better it will look. 👍
@@crazylegs8891 Do you know where can I buy patience?
You did an amazing job man! I was looking for ideas to build my ectatomma's formicarium and I feel like I found gold! Greetings from Honduras!
Thanks Luis. Glad I could help. All the best with your formicarium build.
Amazing
Thank you for watching.
Awesome vid

Wow! Those are very cool! Great Video :)

Why we need cover all nest with Plain Parafin candle buddy?

@@crazylegs8891 tks for rep me, buddy!
No problem. I don't always get the notification but I try to reply to everyone.
Why you didn't use a transparent glass instead of the orange plastic? It would be much better)
The orange is just the protective cover. The acrylic is clear. I've used glass before but I can cut acrylic into any shape I like. Thanks for taking a look.
Nice video bro, sub number 27, great work!
Thanks. 👍
where do you get the water dishes from?
I just typed small round plastic container into an ebay search bar.
@@crazylegs8891 whats the difference between plaster and grout?
@@Toxin1xx grout is made with cement and plaster from calcium sulphate. Grout is much stronger and less likely to mould.
@@crazylegs8891 im was going to try make a nest out of plaster nest but can i use grout?
@@Toxin1xx I don't see why not. Plaster will be easier to work with but won't last as long.
Great work makes me cringe that your not wearing cut resistant gloves. They wouldn't stop a grinder but they do give a split second to move .
Thanks friend. I've been a floor and wall tiler for over 20 years and am quite confident with a diamond saw but your right, safety first. 🙂
@@crazylegs8891 this explains why you're not ever working at a bench, always use to squatting laying those tiles ;) love your work
