Sean you don't need to defend your pods, I wasn't aiming anything at you, I was just saying it was more than just adding extra fungus that brought this around as it sounded as though that was what you where implying. Ricco has your pods and is doing great with his Atta.

On the topic of Paraponera, could you do a video of feeding time with your Paraponera, as I keep seeing videos of Paraponera being teddy bears and really docile. Would like to see some aggressive Paraponera.

I think the problems i had were down to me having a faulty thermometer and hygrometer and i also think the pods work well if they are used in a hot room or house but my house is pretty cold most of the time so there was a lot of condensation in the pod, but i think they are a good product well made.
ants i keep:-
Atta cephalotes
Polyrhachis dives
Camponotus cruentatus
Camponotus ligniperdus
Camponotus barbaricus
Formica cunicularia
Messor barbarus
Lasius niger

Mine are fairly docile when it comes to feeding but always seem active in the formicariums! Anyway, don't want to hijack daubz's thread! :)
