Today i observed an established trachymyrmex colony with at least 2 queens, both of which were regularly coming outside of the nest in order to dump sand along with the workers. I am unsure if there was a third queen that wasnt leaving but at least two were outside the nest at the same time.

Currently, I am keeping a colony of Trachymyrmex sep. that has 11 queens. It was a wild caught colony but doesn't seem to be producing eggs but I could be wrong as I can't see everything around their fungus garden which has grown 15x its original size.

Keeps:

1:Pogonomymex occidentalis

4: Tetramorium immigrans

2 Reticulitermes flavipes
