My Introduction :)

Thanks for adding me.
My name is Ray and I'm 36, I've had several species of Ants before (Lasius Niger, Poly dives, H.venator, S.geminata) then started keeping Tarantulas, Scorpions, Assassin Bugs, Praying Mantis. I gave most of my Ants away to family members to make room which I totally regret. But in a couple of months I am moving to a new house and I will be going from a small study to a much bigger room for my collection of inverts.
Because of this I am planning on keeping Ants again, in particular Atta cephalotes and S.geminata.
I've been working with glass quite a lot recently building my own enclosures for Tarantulas, drilling glass for vents etc and I plan on building my own Atta enclosure with a view to keeping it really clean and using technology quite a lot to automatically maintain temp/humidity etc. and lots of Tubes. Still in planning stages but I'll probably do a post asking for opinions.
Personally I'm a stay at home Dad currently to my Son who is nearly 5 years old but he starts school in September. I also start school in September doing an Access to Higher education in Science and then hopefully a Zoology Degree next year with a focus on Entomology. So my collection will be for my personal enjoyment and also hopefully to help in my studies
My wife is a Midwife.
Also thanks to the Admins for verifying my account. It was a pain in the ass
