You’re right about the queens being pheidole.
My guess for the exact species in Pheidole obscurithorax.

That would be a really cool one to have!

Mine look a bit lighter in color not sure if that matters it could be a locale thing but I am not good at naming any parts or knowing what to look for as far as differences. But Pheidole queens no madder the type stick out to me I think it’s the square head shape that gives it away at first glance and maybe the mandibles
Any way I need an id cuz I would like to keep them polygyne if I’m able but if not I’ll need to make new set ups

If this is pheidole obscurithorax, then they are monygyne.
There is a care sheet on this forum for the species you have, you can view it

here!
 

Yea, what gave it away for me was the mandibles and head shape. Another thing was your location, I heard many people say how easy it is to find P. obscurithorax in your area.
