I have another question. It might sound dumb but, here goes. I found Shelby dead in her hide. She had ants on here eyes, but I don't think that was the cause of death. All the ants are gone. Should I take all the substrate out or just the substrate where she died. It was only about a month old and it is in a large deck box. I have been putting my torts in the house at night which is a pain. The deck box is heated, but we haven't needed to turn the heat on. It has a hole cut in the side to go in and out of.

Tough call dear..if you feel that her passing was an isolated event and feel secure about the hide then you can try it out? So the heated hide is up on your porch/ concrete slab? Have you moved the hide and then banged around on the concrete to see if you get an ant swarm?

The reason I ask is that a swarm of ants generally don't just disappear..but rather just go back underground?

Is there anyway someone can take a pic of the ant killer food grade diatomaceous I looked it up there is so many and I'm afraid I will get the wrong stuff

I have ants all over in spots. I kill then and they come back. I think everyone who doesn't have a bug service gets them. They are not the big one like I had in Ramona, just the little black ones.
