Just introducing myself. I'm new here. It's my first year keeping ants.

I currently have 8 Tetramorium queens in test tubes with eggs/larvae and one in a THA mini hearth.

I also have one Camponotus Pen queen in a test tube with pupae and hope to have workers soon. Since Camponotus grow so slow, my plan with them is to attach a test tube portal and start feeding them in that.

Glad to be here and I'm learning alot just by reading. Thanks for being a great resource!
