This is a tale, of curses and doom, A tale that takes place in the dark of my
room Over in the corner, is a place so quiet,
A mystical place for any creatures that try it,
For within its glass walls, a secret it hides, I'm convinced there's a ghost living deep
inside, The ending of this video will shock and alarm,
This is the tale of the Haunted Ant Farm.

Welcome to the AC Family.
Happy Halloween!
Let's start at the beginning, When this tank was the home,
Of a majestic bearded dragon, Who ruled all alone.
But when the beast perished, And I prepared to move,
some fresh new inhabitants, The beast disapproved,
The dragon's ghost lingered and haunted this place,
Tripping up every single plan I had for this living space,
I added new soils, new worms, new features, And it soon became the home of a tonne of
different creatures.
I was set to turn this vivarium into a world so warm,
With bright lights and plants, an epic ant farm.
So I ran an official poll, for you the AC Family,
To vote for who would be the lucky ant colony, To call this tank home, and call it a win,
AC Family you chose, for my trapjaw ants to move in,
But on the big day of their scheduled arrival, The ghost of the dragon played games of surivival,
For when I came home, my trapjaws had died, Some wild ants had broken in, and killed all
ants inside.
It was such a loss for the AC Family, But the burden we would lighten,
By giving this tank to another colony, And so you chose the Titans.
The Titans were a prized colony, With supermajors huge and royal,
This time for sure, our plans would not be foiled,
But it seemed bad luck came once again, we couldn't figure out why,
When we tried to move the Titans in, some too began to die.
We tried to move black crazy ants, our dark knights, in next,
But they unexpectedly broke loose, through holes in the mesh,
It seemed every attempt we tried at moving ants in,
Lead to ants dying, or complications within.
Was it a sin, To move others in,
To a land so lush, Fit for a dragon,
Whose ghost now haunts Every inch within,
And suddenly manifested, The dragon's kin,
A serpent was seen slithering like a millipede, Through the terrarium it hunted,
For ant seed, It was an ant-eating snake,
How did it get in here?
It must have been planted, With the ficus growing in here!
If our Titans still had, any survivors inside, This snake was a danger to those ants that
survived.
So we went on a snake hunt, it was epic and intense,
It took two episodes to catch the elusive serpent.
But then the snake died before we could let it go,
So we buried it in the tank, great another ghost!
Which brings us to this day, on Halloween night,
The tank is quiet, not a creature in sight.
This once lush land, for which we had high hopes
Was now a forest of weeds and mad ghosts.
Unrecognizable, from the day these lands were created,
For months left unkept, and grossly deviated, No longer beautiful, no longer warm,
I didn't want to touch this haunted ant farm.
Until today, At the break of day,
I needed to make these lands ok,
It needed to be saved,
So I pulled at the weeds, Uprooted them trees,
And told all ghosts To release and be free,
Away with the curse, Dragon, find your peace,
This misfortune must stop, And death must cease!
Be gone, Beast!
Please!
It's time for peace.
And what I saw next, you will not believe.
Lots and lots of ants.
The Titans danced.
Exposed from the upturned soil Of these thought to have been cursed lands.
All this time, The Titans had survived,
Working on growing, Hiding deep inside.
There were masses of brood, Healthy and white,
My heart rejoiced, At the magnificent sight!
Oh my goodness!
Can you believe it?
The curse was broken.
We could now see it!
It baffled me how they managed to survive without food.
I fed them a cockroach and some crickets, too.
Perhaps they were feeding on mites or springtails, Could they be eating earthworms or hunting
the snails?
So our once haunted ant farm, Is now haunted no more
Twas a tale one finds in ancient ant lore,
Of a dragon's ghost that fought with strife Over the home he eventually allowed to house
life.
Let's hope that the Titans continue to get better,
Until next time, AC Family, it's ant love forever!
Wait hold in a sec...
What is that?
Ahhhhh!
Alright, AC Family!
Did I get ya?
Haha!
And wow!
Isn't it just amazing to find out the Titans are not only alive but are doing super well
in this terrarium.
I totally did not expect this!
I hope the Titans continue to grow in this terrarium, which by the way based on your
votes from a previous video is officially called The Garden of Eden.
What a beautiful name considering it involved a snake, a garden we created to house various
plants and animals, and now providing a cradle for this exploding colony of Marauder Ants,
we call the Titans.
Yes!
I wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween and a safe trick or treating season!
AC Inner Colony, I have left a hidden cookie for you here if you would just like to watch
some extended play footage of the Titans, exposed after pulling up the weed roots.
