Cool, we've all seen his videos when starting out, and I guess he already answered a lot of questions for us just with his videos.

Cool! His videos taught me the basics of antkeeping and helped me a lot when starting out. :)

I watch his videos to catch glimpses of his pig. If I had a pet potbelly, it'd be a hoot to take him to the dog park!

I would like to ask him why he hasn't posted any ant videos about HIS ants any time here lately.

Probably because he is too busy with his career now.

Probably but I loved his Tetramorium colony until it suddenly came to a stop. (I know why it came to a stop)

The time for this says 8:00 pm PST. However, daylight savings time has kicked in so does the chat still start at 8pm PST or 8pm PDT?
