These ants feed on a home-grown fungus with which they live in symbiosis, which is cultivated by the worker ants using leaves, flowers and fruit. The tank should always have high humidity for the fungus to grow. When a colony is growing, three separate areas are best to provide optimal husbandry. When feeding on leaves, care should be taken to lightly spray the leaves with water. A heat mat or heating cable is ideal for heating. However, the heat mat should not be placed directly under the tank.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"499135\" _msthash=\"618\"\u003ehusbandry information\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"450164\" _msthash=\"619\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eLatin name\u003c\/strong\u003e = Atta Sexdens\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"464516\" _msthash=\"620\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e = South America\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"1345383\" _msthash=\"621\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eHabitat\u003c\/strong\u003e = rainforests, steppes, savannah\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"448760\" _msthash=\"622\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eColony form\u003c\/strong\u003e = monogynous\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"763009\" _msthash=\"623\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eQueen\u003c\/strong\u003e = reddish brown approx. 30mm in size\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"1010815\" _msthash=\"624\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eWorkers\u003c\/strong\u003e = reddish-brown 3-16mm large\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"792324\" _msthash=\"625\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eSoldiers\u003c\/strong\u003e = reddish brown 18-25mm large\u003c\/font\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"15955134\" _msthash=\"626\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eFood\u003c\/strong\u003e = sugar-honey water, blackberry leaves, raspberry leaves, rose petals and blossoms, elderberry leaves, fruits such as apples, grapes and much more\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"2700737\" _msthash=\"627\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eFeeding chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e = humidity at approx. 40-70% temperature approx. 21-28 degrees\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"2380677\" _msthash=\"628\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eMushroom chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e = humidity at about 85-97% temperature 21-25 degrees\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"2553317\" _msthash=\"629\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eWaste chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e = humidity at about 30-40% temperature about 22 degrees\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"336141\" _msthash=\"630\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eHibernation\u003c\/strong\u003e = none\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"2284659\" _msthash=\"631\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate\u003c\/strong\u003e = sand-clay mixture and Seramis is recommended\u003c\/font\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"1136668\" _msthash=\"632\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eActivity\u003c\/strong\u003e = Mostly active during the day\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"554840\" _msthash=\"633\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eBehavior\u003c\/strong\u003e = very aggressive\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"2591680\" _msthash=\"634\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eDevelopment\u003c\/strong\u003e = egg to worker 3-5 weeks (temperature dependent)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cfont _mstmutation=\"1\" _msttexthash=\"1922739\" _msthash=\"635\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eMax. colony size\u003c\/strong\u003e = several 100,000 animals in the enclosure\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FlexAnts","offers":[{"title":"1 Königin + 50-100 Arbeiterinnen","offer_id":54762787406092,"sku":null,"price":209.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/8443\/6748\/files\/2397842C-92D4-4464-9663-DA7AE33D4214.jpg?v=1776599937","url":"https:\/\/flexants.de\/en\/products\/atta-sexdens","provider":"FlexAnts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
