What heating sources do you use for these.. There is a spot for a cable for heating just can't really find anything that is perfect size for it.

I use this for my MiniHybrid nest. It fits inside the ports and works.

Use the extra to heat other colonies, or you can drape some over other parts of the nest for thermophilic species. Only the last few feet will heat up.

Having one colony is like eating one potato chip.

Imagine having multiple colonies of the same species, that's like forever eating a single flavor of potato chips.

Same with me too! I want novaeboracensis so badly since I'm moving to Michigan, and I have a spot where I found novaeboracensis but I'm not there yet to catch any flights!  :*(

My area is loaded with Camponotus novaeboracensis if only I had a permit. Although I missed their flights last year.
