Hi!
Long time ant admirer, I have been keeping various colonies off and on over the years and have been dying to try again. I find ant keeping has become more popular over the past few years, perhaps due to the dedicated people ( like you all!) who have been successful in keeping them.
I'm looking forward to interacting with you all, and be forewarned, I will have TONS of questions!

Don
