If you want to, go for it. They don't seem to have as much of a problem with extra space, like other ants do. They usually keep everything clean.

I've had quite a few die offs too. It's almost impossible to figure out exactly what the cause is. A few times the entire fungus garden died, and I had to give them fungus from a different colony to get a new garden started. All you can do is keep the conditions right, and hope they recover. If they don't, either I or one of the other many Southern California ant-keepers with Acromyrmex colonies could probably give you some fresh fungus to get them started again.

Anything above 90 is death for them.

 

I wouldn't say that. It gets up to 98 degrees in my ant room sometimes.

Acromyrmex versicolor are desert leafcutters, so they are a bit different than leafcutters from other places.
