Well Thank you guys for trying to figure it out. Identifying something down to the species is not always a straight forward affair.
I'm still a bit worried I just checked on her again, and it seems she's still trying to chew out the cotton. When I initially added the sanded dirt and chia seeds it seemed like she had calmed down. But she seems to now be back to chewing at the cotton. I'm a bit worried.
I've seen some people start Pogonomyrmex queens in a very small jar of the dirt they found them in instead of a test tube. Should I try this? Also next week I have some THA Atom founding formicariums coming. Should I just wait and place her then there?
In your guys opinion what is the most successful way to start a Pogonomyrmex queen? I'd really like to do everything I can as she was the only Pogonomyrmex I was able to find.
You really need to just leave her alone. If you keep checking on her all the time she's not going to calm down and she's not going to lay eggs. Just do what I told you to earlier and calm down 
.
