So I have made these natural nest type formicariums like Drews dirt box except it's just 1 container. It's not long enough to put a test tube in for water do they need water? Or will they get it from misting it?

I have been wondering this too, as I got a dirtbox colony from him as well, and I didn't listen to him when he was explaining this stuff :P

I just read one of his dirt box myremocostyous journals and it didn't look like he was using a test tube for water.
