Great photo Ricco, looking good. Don't worry about pipe openings being covered, they will sort it. Sometimes they even built fungus in the pipe for a time but again nothing to worry about, they will always get leaves to the gardens.
So do you have 4 pods now?

Brilliant, I know I've said before but I would say this to everyone with Sean's pods, eventually, which comes sooner than you think, your not going to be able to feed them from a pod in the long term. I had an acromyrmex colony which where a f@#$@#$ nightmare to feed and that was in a big exo Terra. Have you been thinking about this?
