Ant storage house

Post by Formica123 » Sat Feb 13, 2016 9:34 pm

Well, I've invested in a 14ftx35ft polythene like which will come in August.
I'm looking for a way to insulate this - its a thermal poly Tunell. I can always cancel this order and buy a greenhouse if needed.

Looking for ideas on how to get a good humidity and temperature for Leafcutters and other tropicals.
Also looking for ideas on shelf units to be able to keep the most colonies with minimal escapees.

Any ideas appreciated
I keep over 20 species of ant, inc. Acromyrmex Octospinosus

I was suggested an insulated shed.
Any reccomendations on sizes and brands appreciated.
I also have a MASSIVE barn If that's any good?
