You probably have lol. I have been absent for a little bit cuz of work but finally have time to get back in the forums. Ant keeping has become my passion. I may be able to help you out though if you live close enough to me. Only thing is you won't see much activity because of it getting colder. They are all getting ready for hibernation. But yea, shoot me your email if interested in joining our app.

The Tenn slack still going?  AntsCanada sucked me into his videos and now kinda interested in learning more before I make any purchases.  Would love to get into a more local slack.

I've been trying to reach out to others that are ant keeping or want to start and keeping in my state of Tennessee on a different forum. I'm hoping I might have better luck on this forum :-). Anyway if there is anyone in my state please feel free to message me. Me and a friend are trying to spread the trend of in keeping in our state and are just trying to make more friends.

Hey! I am from TN too. I was looking for info about TN ants and this poped up. TN Antman I live very close to Spring Hill. I am very new to the hobby. I have caught my first few queens and have a few eggs but I don't know the genus yet?!? Hope to hear from y'all.


@Hidden_Hatch, Howdy! DM me or xTNxANTMANx your email address and we'll add you to our Slack team where we plan outings.

Is the Tennessee group still available?
