Army Ants?
I just want to know, has anyone ever kept or known anyone who has ever kept army ants? Is it even possible?

No. They require too much space. There are some professional zoos attempting it but they due after a while. Diver ants must be able to move great distances.

Re: Army Ants?
Army ants should not be kept by hobbyists as pets. There is a 100% mortality rate in captivity (even in laboratories), as well as the fact that army ants only produce one viable queen every 1 - 2 years.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
