Ants...
Ants build a nest in Zeus' cage  Is it bad? At this point the only way to get rid of them is to clean his entire cage which I won't have time to do till tomorrow.

Re: Ants...
I have heard of several kinds of ants that could be harmful to your snake. As far as the regular house ant that we all get here in CA, i don't know if they are or aren't. Sorry

^^^^^
scoop up as much of the nest and the ants,then.....
put them in your house mates bed 
maybe they will get the hint and stop leaving dirty dishes around 
or....
transfer the nest and ants,into your house mates underwear drawer,some ants in his pants should do the trick 
cheers shaun

Re: Ants...
I wish we got ants. Where I live, it doesn't matter how clean or dirty your house is. If you open your door long enough to walk though, thirty flies get inside. And there's always a two week time during the summer that the mosquitoes are so bad that you can barely see your hand in front of your face at night.

Re: Ants...
Just clean it ASAP. And maybe make a chore chart for you and your roommates so that the dishes get cleaned daily...?
