Planning to design and build a small colony module.
Posted: Tue Oct 17, 2017 9:29 pm
Been wanting to do this for ages. I will start to plan and design a small unit that will be suitable for housing a small colony of Acromyrmex which could be used by private enthusiasts for keeping their Acros when they buy one from a supplier. There are several versions of housing ideas for Leaf Cutters, all of them are not completely fit for purpose because they lack one main thing. They do not incorporate any life support, heating, humidity etc. So none of them solve the problem.
My design here is for everyone to copy, or add their suggestions, or suggest a different design. Hopefully, once we have gone through this process, we will have a design which ticks all of the boxes and is free for all to use.
So the first requirement is that there has to be heating and humidification built into the unit. It has be ready to plug in when it comes out of the box.
