Moving my queen
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 9:36 pm
Hey guys I was wanting to know if it was a bad Idea, or just not recommended to move my new queen. I was told on the forums that she is a Solenopsis Invicta. I caught her about 4 days ago and last I checked hadn't started laying any eggs. She's in a test tube with a cotton ball with water absorbed in it at the bottom, and a cotton ball blocking her exit on the other. Then tucked away inside a drawer of a desk we never use. I was just wanting to know when my new formicarium got here if I could mover her into this one safely since it's not all that big, and leave her to put in that one. Because the tube shes in is going to be bigger than the formicarium. I'll attach a link to the exact Formicarium I bought to start my colony. It should be here next week.
