Hey, i am antloverhuman (i am a human) and i am also on ACAF. I have been keeping a camponotus compressus colony for over one year and they have lots of brood, two majors and around 80 workers. The queen is named empress shadow and the colony is named the shadow warriors
I also have two pheidoli parva queens in founding which i want to sell and i will make a separate post about it. I live in Delhi, India so anyone near me can contact me if they want a queen. I will not be very active as i have alot of school work to do. Hope everyone has a great day!

Very cool, you should start a journal on your colonies.

Welcome! Hope you will enjoy what the forum has to offer.

Young ant keeper with a decent amount of knowledge on local ant species.

YouTube: https://m.youtube.co...uKsahGliSH7EqOQ (It's pretty dead. Might upload again soon, don't expect my voice to sound the same though.)

Currently kept ant species, favorites have a star in front of their names (NOT in alphabetical order, also may be outdated sometimes): ★ Camponotus irritans inferior, ★ Ooceraea biroi, Pheidole parva, ★ Nylanderia sp., ★ Paraparatrechina tapinomoides, Platythyrea sp., Anochetus sp., Colobopsis sp. (cylindrica group), ★ Crematogaster ferrarii, Polyrhachis (Myrma) cf. pruinosa, Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) laevissima, Tapinoma sp. (formerly Zatapinoma)

Death count: Probably over a hundred individual queens and colonies by now. I cannot recall whatsoever.

I do have a very big journal in ACAF. The main things are that i caught my queen on 21 may and after a month she got her first workers. I have named the majors "jeff" there are three majors now (one emerged yesterday, two more are on the way) i will soon post a picture here. Also i am keeping them in DIY setups (self made formicarium and outworld)

Lol i kinda forgot about here as i have 10th boards currently. I will be more active hopefully once that is all done
But for now i can say that the colony is fine. They woke up from hibernation but haven't laid any eggs yet
