EDIT: After the last cleaning i added some substrate and the entrance changed

So here is a small image of said entrance:

Simple information about population, tonight i had about 10 workers scavenging and removing substrate from the nest, so colony is growing. I'm impatient what it will mean for hot temperature time, i fell like their getting ready.

Being relatively active in the early night i can now show how much they have dug from the pure substrate layout outside the outworld, if you compare the greyish pebble to the fine ground red sand

 

 

(ps: could be nice to upload videos on the forum)

And every day some more substrate is brought up, now at night they are about 10 to 11 active workers outdoors. One worker is constantly getting sugar the others only re arrange or excavate.

Here again mor dug up Substrate from the 2n layer.

Same spot tonight, a dozen of empty pupae and a lot of activity outside of the nest. I'm very happy to see that they are growing still and are getting less shy to light.
