A strange request from a highland zoo with no tropical animals was for an install of Leaf Cutters in their unheated gift shop. Quite a challenge.
We opted to house the colony in a small office beside the counter which we could heat and we put the pipe through the wall and around the window to a feeding tank, again heated. In winter this setup will be restricted to the nest room but the zoo is closed so a lack of ants on the walkway will not matter.
Heres some pics of the install.

That is quite random by why not, I'm sure the visitors will love it.

Suppose that's their excuse to start getting more tropical animals now

Size? Length, width, height. The one in this setup was 650mm long, 1200mm high and 650mm front to back with a central weir for heating and a moat around the top. We also drill a hole at the base ofr water. If you give me a size, I will PM you with the ex-mates rate price. Kind of owe you one for the forum anyway so might forgive the previous indiscretions.
