Wow Roger - That is one hell of an enclosure!

Was this wall already part of the yard?

If not you're one dedicated dude.

You need to have a horned lizard forum BBQ when this is done and we can come admire it



I like the ideas involved in Cables enclosure too.



I was thinking of an ant/bug dispenser. My idea is a hanging overhead (size depending on size of enclosure) storage for the ants with a few holes or tubes in which they could crawl out and fall into the enclosure. No batteries, timers, or mechanical movement that would kill or injure insects as well. That way only a few could drop at a time - depending on how big/many holes in the storage container. Start with maybe a few little holes and observe how many come out over a time period and add more holes accordingly. Or if you used small, clear, rubber tubing you could route them to a particular part of the cage to be dispensed. Get creative with the tube routing and you can have an artificial ant mound.



In any case you could add ants on a daily basis

and not worry about heat killing them in mass quantities.



But the material the holes are in probably should be solid.

I am sure you have seen ants being kept in containers chew air holes edges bigger to escape. Maybe a plexiglass bottom with small holes drilled through - just work your way up on drill bit sizes.



Just throwing it out there.



Good to see everyone on this thread!
