On a heat mat at around 100 F they can lay in a matter of days or hours if you’re lucky

Dude. You are just lying now, what are you talking about??

I have kept many colonies before I know what I’m doing

Where are your sources/evidence? Do you have any real proof? Do you have comparisons to normal colonies? Do you even know how long 3-13 months to lay eggs is as you said? That is ridiculous, most ants lay within a few months at MOST. While the majority HATCHES then. And what are you saying anyways, after that you just posted it takes ‘10.2453 days usually’ to lay eggs now, you said two different things for one thing? Also 100F on a heating mat would basically KILL any ants due to overheating. I mean, that is plain lying without any regards to making evidence. Like, can you give any statistics to bolster your posts? I may be going ballistic, but it’s not as ridiculous as your claims.

Also, why did you like my reply..

Only desert ants can tolerate a temp even close to 90 degrees F as far as I have heard. Even then, their nests are cooler because they are underground

I don't want to get into whatever drama you have going on here, but the misconceptions definitely aren't one-sided. Many ant species can have development times under 1 month, and sometimes under 3 weeks. There are also species that will lay within hours or days of queen collection. 100F isn't that outrageous of a temperature either, many thermophilic ants, such as some of the ones I have collected in IL quite prefer this temperature. Don't try to call people out when you don't know what you're calling them out for.

It looked like trolling to me, too, which is why I responded, “What??”

Ok yeah, I may have gone too far with this one. I really got ‘triggered’ in a way by the ‘10.2453 days to lay eggs on avg’ thing.

I still think his claims are false though.

If he just averaged out all of the times he has had them lay, he could get that weird of a number.
