So here's my Solenopsis geminata colony, I've raised this colony from queen and they now have an estimated population of about 1000-1200. They are fast growers, with the queen pushing out what seems like 30-50 eggs a day, with an average loss of around 5-10 ants a day judging from their ant graveyard they have created in the corner of they're arena! I keep they're nest temp at a gradient of 25-30c using a heat mat and an exo ministats, this seems to be they're favourite. I have a spot light on the arena during the day and have to refill they're water tube every two days because they never stop drinking aha.
